What Is ISO 3310-2 Perforated Plate Test Sieve Used For?

A large round test sieve with a thick perforated stainless steel plate of evenly spaced round holes, gravel aggregate

ISO 3310-2 Perforated Plate Test Sieve (ISO 3310-2) is specified where the duty calls for sizing coarse aggregates, ores, fertilizer granules and pellets with round- or square-hole perforated plates whose holes are certified to ISO 3310-2. 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 3310-2 Perforated Plate Test Sieve

Where ISO 3310-2 Perforated Plate Test Sieve is specified and bought:

  • Aggregate & road materials labs: coarse gradation from 4 mm upward.
  • Fertilizer producers: granule size distribution checks.
  • Mining & minerals: crushed ore and coal sizing.
  • Plastics & feed pelleting: pellet length and diameter QC.

How to Specify ISO 3310-2 Perforated Plate Test Sieve for Your Application

  • Hole shape: Round or square holes as the test method specifies — results differ between them.
  • Frame size: 300 mm for routine coarse work; 450 mm for very coarse material.
  • Plate thickness: 1–2 mm; thicker plates resist denting by heavy stones.
  • Standard: Quote ISO 3310-2 and the size designation from the table on the product page, plus any value you changed in the technical drawing.

Handling & Installation Practice

  • Load samples gently — dropped stones dent the plate and distort holes.
  • Check holes periodically with a gauge; worn holes oversize results.

Common Selection Mistakes with ISO 3310-2 Perforated Plate Test Sieve

  • Substituting wire cloth where the standard calls for plate.
  • Ignoring hole wear on heavily used aggregate sieves.

Where ISO 3310-2 Perforated Plate Test Sieve Is Not the Right Choice

Not for fine powders below about 1 mm; woven-wire test sieves are used there.

When are perforated plate test sieves used instead of wire cloth?

For coarse sizes, typically 4 mm and above, where plate is more durable.

Round or square holes?

Use the shape named in your test standard; they give different results.
