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 40µm 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-040 is an 8in Precision Electroform Sieve, specially designed for precision particle sizing operations. The sieve frame is made of stainless steel and has a half-height of 8in (203.2mm). The Precision Electroformed cloth used in this sieve is formed through electrodeposition of nickel compound onto a base grid, resulting in a mesh with highly precise square openings.
The Precision Electroformed sieves are meticulously manufactured to meet the requirements of ASTM E161, with a tolerance of ±2μm. Each sieve is carefully measured and comes with a Certificate of Compliance. Although the initial price of Electroformed Sieves may be higher than woven wire sieves, their exceptional accuracy, efficiency, and wide size range make them the superior choice for precision particle sizing operations.
The stacking heights for 8in diameter frames are available in two options: 2in (50.8mm) and 1in (25.4mm). For 3in frames, the stacking heights are 3in (76.2mm) and 1in (25.4mm). The Lines Per Inch (LPI) value indicates the number of openings per linear inch (25.4mm) and can be found in the Specifications Tab. Higher LPIs indicate more fragile sieves, while lower LPIs feature thicker metal with fewer openings.
The Gilson V8EH-040 is an 8in (203mm) diameter ASTM Precision Electroformed Test Sieve with a nickel woven-wire cloth, featuring a precise opening size of 40µm and a half-height stainless steel frame. This sieve is particularly suitable for very fine powders and delivers exceptional performance when used with Vibratory Sieve Shakers or Sonic Sifters.
It boasts several key features that set it apart from traditional woven wire sieves. With a greater accuracy of ±2µm, it ensures reliable and precise particle sizing operations. The Gilson V8EH-040 serves as the ideal choice for high-quality sieving of very fine powders when used with vibratory or sonic shakers. Furthermore, it can be calibrated with glass beads or other reference materials to serve as a reliable reference standard.
When purchasing the Gilson V8EH-040, customers can expect to receive the 8in Precision Electroform Sieve with a half height of 40µm, along with a Certificate of Compliance. Additionally, a range of accessories is available, including the V8SHXPN 8in All Stainless Sieve Pan (Half Height) to collect fines passing through the bottom sieve, the V8SHXPE 8in All Stainless Extended Rim Pan (Half Height) to collect fines from top sieves, the V8SFXCV 8in All Stainless Sieve Cover to prevent sample loss or contamination, and the V8SFXCR 8in All Stainless Sieve Cover with Ring used with 8in pans to prevent sample loss or contamination.
In terms of standard compliance, the Gilson V8EH-040 meets ISO 565, ASTM E161, and ISO 3310-3. With a total estimated shipping weight of 2.0lb (0.91kg), it is a reliable and efficient tool for precise particle sizing operations in a variety of industries.
