ISO 3310-1 Woven Wire Test Sieve (ISO 3310-1) is specified where the duty calls for particle-size analysis by sieving, using woven wire cloth whose aperture is certified to ISO 3310-1 tolerances. The sections below cover the typical end-uses by industry, the mesh, micron and material decisions for each, installation practice, and the applications this product type is not suited to.
Typical Applications for ISO 3310-1 Woven Wire Test Sieve
Where ISO 3310-1 Woven Wire Test Sieve is specified and bought:
- Quality control labs: grading powders, aggregates and granules against specification.
- Pharmaceutical & food labs: particle-size distribution of excipients, flour and sugar.
- Mining & mineral processing: ore and concentrate sizing.
- Universities & research: teaching and research sieve stacks.
How to Specify ISO 3310-1 Woven Wire Test Sieve for Your Application
- Aperture series: Choose apertures from the ISO 565 R20/3 or R40/3 series to match your test method.
- Frame: 200 mm for routine work; 300 mm for larger samples.
- Certification: Inspection grade for routine; calibration grade with statistical measurement for audited labs.
- Standard: Quote ISO 3310-1 and the size designation from the table on the product page, plus any value you changed in the technical drawing.
Handling & Installation Practice
- Brush from underneath only, with a soft sieve brush; never poke the cloth.
- Clean fine sieves ultrasonically and dry before storage; verify against a control sample periodically.
Common Selection Mistakes with ISO 3310-1 Woven Wire Test Sieve
- Overloading the sieve, which blinds the cloth and skews results.
- Using a damaged sieve without re-certification.
Where ISO 3310-1 Woven Wire Test Sieve Is Not the Right Choice
Not for production screening; continuous duty wears test cloth and voids certification.
