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 38µm 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-038 is an 8in Precision Electroform Sieve that offers unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in particle sizing operations. The sieve features a stainless steel frame with a full height design, providing durability and stability during use. The Precision Electroformed cloth used in the sieve is formed by electrodeposition of nickel compound to a base grid, resulting in a mesh with incredibly precise square openings.
Each Precision Electroformed sieve meets the requirements of ASTM E161, with tolerances of ±2μm. To ensure accuracy, each sieve is carefully measured and supplied with a Certificate of Compliance. While the initial price of Electroformed Sieves may be higher than woven wire sieves, their accuracy, efficiency, and wide size range make them a superior choice for precision particle sizing operations.
The 8in diameter frame offers two stacking heights: 2in and 1in. The Lines Per Inch (LPI) value on the sieve indicates the number of openings occurring in one linear inch. Higher LPIs provide greater precision but are more fragile, while lower LPIs have thicker metal and fewer openings.
The 8in Precision Electroform Sieve has a specific opening size of 38µm and a full height stainless steel frame. It is ideally suited for use with very fine powders when paired with Vibratory Sieve Shakers or Sonic Sifters.
Key features of the Gilson V8EF-038 include greater accuracy of ±2µm compared to woven wire sieves, making it the ideal choice for precision particle sizing operations. It also serves as a reliable reference standard when calibrated with glass beads or other reference materials.
The package includes the 8in Precision Electroform Sieve with an opening size of 38um, as well as a Certificate of Compliance. Additionally, various accessories are available, including an 8in All Stainless Sieve Pan, Full Height, to collect fines passing through the bottom sieve, an 8in All Stainless Extended Rim Pan, Full Height, fits between sieves to collect fines from the top sieves, an 8in All Stainless Sieve Cover to prevent sample loss or contamination, and an 8in All Stainless Sieve Cover with Ring for use with 8in pans to prevent sample loss or contamination.
The Gilson V8EF-038 meets a range of standards, including ISO 565, ASTM E161, and ISO 3310-3. With a shipping weight of approximately 2.0lb, this Precision Electroform Sieve is a reliable and accurate tool for particle sizing operations.
