Full title and description

ISO 3310-2:2013 — Test sieves — Technical requirements and testing — Part 2: Test sieves of perforated metal plate. This international standard specifies construction, marking and test methods for laboratory test sieves made from perforated metal plate (round or square holes).

Abstract

ISO 3310-2:2013 defines the technical requirements and corresponding test methods for test sieves manufactured from perforated metal plate. It covers designation, plate and frame requirements, marking, and verification/testing procedures for perforated-plate sieves used in particle-size analysis and laboratory sieving. The standard is intended to ensure repeatable, traceable sieve performance for sizes and hole types defined in ISO 565.

Scope

This part of ISO 3310 specifies technical requirements and test methods for test sieves made of perforated metal plate. It applies to sieves with round holes (nominal sizes from 125 mm down to 1 mm) and square holes (nominal sizes from 125 mm down to 4 mm), in accordance with the nominal opening series and designation rules given in ISO 565. The standard covers plate characteristics, frame construction, marking, and methods for verifying conformity.

Key topics and requirements

• Designation and nominal opening series (linkage to ISO 565 nominal sizes for perforated plate).
• Materials and manufacture of perforated metal plate (hole shape, pattern, edge condition and tolerance limits for openings).
• Requirements for test sieve frames (dimensions, construction, mounting of the perforated plate and sealing).
• Marking and identification of sieves (designation, nominal size, manufacturer/identification and traceability).
• Procedures for testing and verification of sieve openings and overall conformity (inspection and test methods described in the standard).
• Informative annex material such as test-sieve record card and bibliographic references.

Typical use and users

Laboratories performing particle-size analysis, quality-control and testing laboratories in aggregates, construction materials, mining, chemical and pharmaceutical industries; manufacturers and suppliers of test sieves; national standards bodies and conformity-assessment bodies that verify sieve accuracy and traceability.

Related standards

Key related standards include ISO 3310-1 (Test sieves — Part 1: test sieves of metal wire cloth), ISO 565 (Nominal sizes of openings for metal wire cloth, perforated plate and electroformed sheet) and ISO 2395 (Test sieves and test sieving — Vocabulary). These documents are commonly referenced together to define sizes, terminology and test methods for laboratory sieving.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 3310-2:2013 is the International Standard that specifies technical requirements and testing procedures for laboratory test sieves made from perforated metal plate (round or square holes).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers designation and nominal opening sizes (per ISO 565), material and manufacture requirements for the perforated plate, frame construction and marking, plus the procedures used to test and verify sieve conformity.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Test laboratories, manufacturers and suppliers of sieves, quality and materials engineers in industries requiring particle-size analysis (aggregates, cement, mining, pharmaceuticals), and accreditation/conformity bodies.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2013 edition (Edition 5) is the currently published edition and ISO records indicate this version was confirmed in subsequent ISO reviews; previous editions (1999, 1990, etc.) have been withdrawn and superseded by the 2013 edition.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 3310 is a multipart series. ISO 3310‑1 covers test sieves of metal wire cloth; ISO 3310‑2 covers perforated metal plate; other parts (e.g., electroformed sheets) are covered in related ISO documents.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Test sieve, perforated plate, nominal opening, particle-size analysis, sieve framing, ISO 565, ISO 2395, verification.
