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 20µm opening size and half height stainless steel frame.
Works well for very fine powders when used with Vibratory Sieve Shakers or Sonic Sifters.

The Gilson V8EH-020 is an 8-inch precision electroform sieve designed to provide accurate and efficient particle sizing for various applications. This sieve features a stainless steel frame with a half-height design, making it suitable for precision particle sizing operations.
The electroformed cloth used in the Gilson V8EH-020 is formed by electrodeposition of a nickel compound onto a base grid, resulting in a mesh with very precise square openings. This ensures precise particle sizing and meets the requirements of ASTM E161, with tolerances of ±2μm. To further guarantee accuracy, each sieve is measured and supplied with a Certificate of Compliance.
Compared to woven wire sieves, the Gilson V8EH-020 offers greater accuracy in particle sizing operations. While the initial price may be higher, the enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and size range make it a superior solution for precision particle sizing. It is particularly well-suited for fine powders when used with vibratory sieve shakers or sonic sifters.
The Gilson V8EH-020 comes with a reliable reference standard when calibrated with glass beads or other reference materials. The sieve is also compatible with various accessories, including an all stainless sieve pan, extended rim pan, sieve cover, and sieve cover with a ring.
This sieve meets important standards such as ISO 565, ASTM E161, and ISO 3310-3. With an 8-inch diameter and a nickel woven-wire cloth, the Gilson V8EH-020 has a 20µm opening size and a half-height stainless steel frame. The Lines Per Inch (LPI) value of 400 indicates the number of openings in one linear inch, providing precise particle separation.
With a shipping weight of 2.0 lbs (0.91 kg), the Gilson V8EH-020 is a high-quality and reliable product for accurate particle sizing. Whether used in research laboratories, pharmaceutical industries, or other applications, this precision electroform sieve ensures accurate and efficient particle separation.
