MTE carries a vast range of sieves for a variety of applications. These include sampling and classification of soils, aggregates, powdered and granular materials for specific ASTM and AASHTO standard tests. All test sieves comply with ASTM E11 and AASHTO M92 standards and include individual serial numbers for traceability. Calibration and Inspection quality sieves are also available as an option.
Most ASTM sieve applications call for 8” or 12” diameter sieves, however, sieves are also available in ISO. ASTM Test Sieves come in several diameters: 3" (76mm), 6" (152mm), 10" (254mm), and 18" (457mm). Sieves are available in full or half-height frame brass with stainless steel mesh or stainless-steel frame and mesh and all sizes between 4” (100mm) to No. 1000 (2 micron) mesh sizes. There is also an intermediate frame height available for 12” (305mm) sieves. The selection of frame diameter and height is typically based on specimen volume and/or particle size.
