8in 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.
8in (203mm) diameter ASTM Precision Electroformed Test Sieve has nickel woven-wire cloth with 15µm 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 V8EF-015 is an 8in precision electroform sieve that is designed specifically for precision particle sizing operations. The sieve features an stainless steel frame with a diameter of 8in (203.2mm), and is available in both full and half-height options. The precision electroformed cloth used in the sieve is formed through the electrodeposition of a nickel compound onto a base grid, resulting in a mesh with highly precise square openings.
All Precision Electroform sieves meet the requirements of ASTM E161, with tolerances of ±2μm. Each sieve is carefully measured and supplied with a Certificate of Compliance, providing users with the assurance of accurate and reliable particle sizing results. While the initial price of Electroformed Sieves may be higher than traditional woven wire sieves, their accuracy, efficiency, and wider size range make them an ideal solution for precision particle sizing operations.
The 8in diameter frames of the Gilson V8EF-015 can be stacked to heights of 2in (50.8mm) and 1in (25.4mm), providing flexibility for different particle sizing needs. The product also features a Lines Per Inch (LPI) value, which indicates the number of openings in one linear inch (25.4mm) of the sieve. Higher LPIs result in more fragile sieves with thinner metal, while lower LPIs have thicker metal but fewer openings.
Designed for precision particle sizing applications, the Gilson V8EF-015 sieve is equipped with nickel woven-wire cloth with an opening size of 15µm. Its full height stainless steel frame ensures stability and durability during the sieving process. The sieve is ideal for use with vibratory sieve shakers or sonic sifters, particularly when working with very fine powders.
The Gilson V8EF-015 sieve is not only accurate and efficient, but it also serves as a reliable reference standard when calibrated with glass beads or other reference materials. It meets the ISO 565, ASTM E161, and ISO 3310-3 standards, guaranteeing its compliance with industry requirements.
Included with the Gilson V8EF-015 sieve is a Certificate of Compliance, ensuring that the sieve has been thoroughly tested and meets the required specifications. Additionally, a range of accessories are available, including all stainless sieve pans, sieve covers, and sieve covers with rings, providing users with a comprehensive sieving solution.
With an estimated shipping weight of 2.0lb (0.91kg), the Gilson V8EF-015 is a lightweight yet durable sieve that is perfect for precision particle sizing operations. Its superior accuracy and efficiency make it the ideal choice for laboratories and industries that require precise particle size analysis.
