Sieve Certification Services
Although we supply a high precision sieve product, normal wear is still possible. To ensure your sieve is still working at its ultimate performance level, Precision Eforming recommends an annual inspection and re-certification to ASTM E-161 or ISO 3310-3 standards.

Originally developed for the Diamond Super-Abrasive Industry, electroformed sieves manufactured by Precision Eforming are ideal for absolute particle filtration applications. With an impressively vast range from 2 to 2,000 microns in any single micron increment, and a smooth-surface mesh that is burr and stress free, we are the world leader in the industry.
Electroformed Sieves, in combination with Sonic Sieving instruments, are often more efficient than standard sieve shakers with woven wire sieves. The high accuracy of electroformed mesh and the possibility to work with openings finer than 20µm, make them a better option for particle size analysis of fine powders. Standard electroformed mesh is supplied with a support grid, but sieves with no support are also available.
Each sieve is certified using an NIST traceable imaging system, and supplied with a measurement histogram.
In contrast to traditional woven wire sieves, the electroforming process allows for consistently tight tolerances and accurate edge acuity that determine particle size for our client’s most precision sensitive areas of the powder and particle industries. An added benefit of electroformed sieves is ease of cleaning and reduction in particle entrapment, saving you both time and money. And, you can choose the opening geometry from square, round, hexagonal, slotted or custom to best suit your material and process.
