Description
Standard ASTM and AASHTO Test Sieves
Humboldt stocks an extensive selection 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. An extensive inventory of sieves is available in all popular sizes and mesh/frame material configurations.
Most ASTM sieve applications call for 8” or 12” diameter sieves, however, sieves are also available in 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 configuration 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.
Humboldt’s sieves are made to ensure consistent fit, accurate specifications, and durable construction. 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.
Sieves are available in brass frame with stainless steel mesh or stainless steel frame and mesh. Sieve frames are seamless spun brass or stainless steel with rigid rolled edges and extended bottoms (skirts). This provides a good fit and proper stacking between frames, pans and separators of the same diameter.
A permanently attached metal plate with the sieve number, micron size and nominal opening (mm and in.) is included with each sieve. Sieve covers, bottom pans and separator pans are also in stock and ready to ship.
Humboldt’s Sieve Selector Tool is a fast and accurate way to find and purchase the exact testing sieves you’re looking for, and can also be used to locate covers and pans.
