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 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 V8EF-005 is an 8in Precision Electroform Sieve that is perfect for precision particle sizing operations. Made with stainless steel frames and nickel cloth, this sieve offers greater accuracy compared to woven wire sieves. With an opening size of 5µm and full height stainless steel frame, it is designed to provide reliable and precise results.
This sieve meets the requirements of ASTM E161, ensuring its compliance with industry standards. Each sieve is carefully measured and supplied with a Certificate of Compliance, guaranteeing its accuracy. The electroformed cloth used in these sieves is formed by electrodeposition of nickel compound to a base grid, resulting in a mesh with precise square openings.
The 8in diameter frames are available in two stacking heights of 2in (50.8mm) and 1in (25.4mm). The sieve's Lines Per Inch (LPI) value indicates the number of openings occurring in one linear inch, with higher LPIs being more fragile but with more openings. This sieve is the ideal choice for very fine powders, especially when used with vibratory or sonic shakers.
Included with the Gilson V8EF-005 are the 8in Precision Electroform Sieve with a 5um opening size and full height stainless steel frame, as well as a Certificate of Compliance. Additional accessories are also available, such as the 8in All Stainless Sieve Pan, Full Height, for collecting fines passing through the bottom sieve, the 8in All Stainless Extended Rim Pan, Full Height, for collecting fines from top sieves, the 8in All Stainless Sieve Cover to prevent sample loss or contamination, and the 8in All Stainless Sieve Cover with Ring for use with pans to prevent sample loss or contamination.
The Gilson V8EF-005 Precision Electroform Sieve complies with ISO 565, ASTM E161, and ISO 3310-3 standards, making it a reliable and accurate reference standard for particle sizing operations. Its estimated shipping weight is 2.0lb (0.91kg), ensuring easy handling and transport.
Whether you need precise particle size analysis for research or industrial purposes, the Gilson V8EF-005 Precision Electroform Sieve is the perfect solution. Its accuracy, efficiency, and size range make it an excellent choice for achieving the most precise and reliable results.
