A Solution for Every Challenge You Face
Advantech offers a complete family of sieve
solutions, including:
Compare Advantech Test Sieves against any others available
for precision, price and delivery. You'll see why Advantech
has truly been the "measure of quality control"
for over 30 years.
A New Level of Reliability
We take great care to ensure quality with every single
test sieve, with multiple points of inspection built
into our process for impeccable quality. We use a measurement
system for our wire cloth that’s traceable to
NIST standards and label each sieve for traceability.
Our die-formed frames assure fit, superior quality and
performance, guaranteeing that American Society for
Testing Materials (ASTM) specifications are always met.
And we’re stocked for prompt, same-day delivery,
helping you keep pace every day.
Serialized for Full Traceability
All Advantech Test Sieves are serialized to
meet the highest grade quality assurance systems for
traceability of measurement devices. The serial number
is etched on each sieve, and contained in a bar-coded
label, tracing vital information such as:
- When your sieve was manufactured.
- Which lot of wire cloth was used to manufacture
the sieve.
- When your sieve was shipped, including all pertinent
information from your purchase order.
With each test sieve comes a CERTIFICATE OF
COMPLIANCE to all applicable ASTM, ISO and
ANSI specifications bearing the serial number of your
sieve and the shipment date. All safeguards are in place
to support and ensure your quality system.
Woven Sieve Cloth vs. Electroformed Materials.
Which One? Why?
Regardless of your intended application, choosing
the proper sieving medium is vital for maximum efficiency
— and results. So which will it be, woven wire
mesh or electroformed materials? Both are highly precise
and extremely accurate, so knowing the difference can
help you decide.
Woven Sieve Cloth
The most commonly used sieving medium for particle
size measurement is wire cloth woven from precisely-drawn
brass, phosphor bronze or stainless steel. Over the
past decade, technological advances have dramatically
improved the quality and uniformity of commercial woven
wire cloth. In fact, many of the weavers now work with
sophisticated CNC-based looms and computerized optical
measurement systems to control quality.
Benefits
Guided by the American Society of Testing and Materials
(ASTM) standard E-11, woven sieve cloth offers the user
an economical means of particle sizing while being held
to a strict industry standard. Woven cloth is extremely
durable and is used in applications that precision mesh
would not be suitable.
Available in sizes from 5" to 20 micrometers,
woven cloth is the most widely used sieving medium in
industries worldwide.
Electroformed Sieve Media
A high-precision alternative medium for particle
size measurement, electroformed sieve media is actually
formed by the electrodeposition of liquid nickel on
a precision-ruled grid. It’s a process designed
to increase the diameter of the "wires" in
the matrix, while reducing the size of the holes.
Benefits
Opening sizes can be controlled to the exacting tolerances
set by ASTM E-161 specifications. Allowable tolerance
on the range of opening sizes in a given piece of mesh
is just ±2 micrometer. Opening sizes down to
3 micrometer are available.
For your convenience, we stock electroformed sieves
(our Precision sieve series) in 5 micrometer increments
between 5 and 125 micrometers. Special opening sizes
falling between the increments are available on a special
order basis.
Inspection and Certification
To ensure opening sizes and wire diameters
of wire cloth used for test sieves, we’ve engineered
the new custom designed image analyzer based optical
measurement system. It’s the core of our CENTERLINE®
Sieve Certification System, fully traceable to the National
Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST).
