3in Diameter ASTM Precision Electroformed Sieves
Electroformed sieve frames are stainless steel 8in (203.2mm) or 3in (76.2mm) diameter, full or half-height sieves. The Precision Electroformed cloth used in them is formed by electrodeposition of nickel compound to a base grid to form a mesh with very precise square openings.
All Precision Electroformed sieves meet the requirements of ASTM E161, with tolerances of ±2μm. Each sieve is measured and supplied with a Certificate of Compliance. While the initial price of Electroformed Sieves is substantially higher than woven wire sieves, their accuracy, efficiency and size range often make them a better solution for precision particle sizing operations.
Stacking heights for 8in diameter frames are 2in (50.8mm) and 1in (25.4mm). For 3in frames, stacking heights are 3in (76.2mm) and 1in (25.4mm). The Lines Per Inch (LPI) value in the Specifications Tab indicates the number of openings occurring in one linear inch (25.4mm). Higher LPIs are more fragile while low LPIs have thicker metal, but fewer openings.
3in (76mm) diameter ASTM Precision Electroformed Test Sieve has nickel woven-wire cloth with 5µm opening size and full height stainless steel frame.
Works well for very fine powders when used with Vibratory Sieve Shakers or Sonic Sifters.

The Gilson V3EF-005 is a high-quality precision electroform sieve designed for accurate particle sizing operations. With a 3-inch diameter and a full-height stainless steel frame, this sieve meets the requirements of ASTM E161, ensuring reliable and consistent results.
Unlike traditional woven wire sieves, the Precision Electroformed cloth used in the Gilson V3EF-005 is formed through electrodeposition of a nickel compound onto a base grid. This process creates a mesh with very precise square openings, resulting in a sieve with a greater accuracy of ±2μm. Each sieve is carefully measured and supplied with a Certificate of Compliance, guaranteeing its adherence to the strict ASTM standards.
The Gilson V3EF-005 is an ideal choice for precision particle sizing, especially in applications involving very fine powders. It works seamlessly with vibratory sieve shakers or sonic sifters, allowing for efficient and precise separation of particles. Its nickel woven-wire cloth features a 5µm opening size, making it suitable for handling fine particles with ease.
In addition to its high accuracy and efficiency, the Gilson V3EF-005 is also a reliable reference standard when calibrated with glass beads or other reference materials. This further enhances its value as a versatile tool for particle size analysis.
The Gilson V3EF-005 comes with a 3-inch precision electroform sieve, full height, with a 5um opening size. It also includes a Certificate of Compliance, ensuring its conformance to standards. To enhance its functionality, various accessories are available, such as the V3SFXPN 3-inch all stainless sieve pan to collect fines passing through the bottom sieve, the V3SFXPE 3-inch all stainless extended rim pan to collect fines from top sieves, and the V3SFXCV 3-inch all stainless sieve cover to prevent sample loss or contamination.
With its outstanding accuracy, efficiency, and size range, the Gilson V3EF-005 is a superior solution for precision particle sizing operations. It meets the standard requirements of ISO 565, ASTM E161, and ISO 3310-3, ensuring its reliability and quality. With an estimated shipping weight of just 1.0lb (0.45kg), this precision electroform sieve is a compact and portable tool suitable for a variety of applications.
