diameter in Column 7 within the tolerances in Footnote A

of

Table

4.5 Wires shall be crimped in such a manner ,that they

will

be rigid when in use.. ,

5.1 General R e q u i r e ~ e ' n t s : - F r a i n e s for witt] Cloth sieves

shall be constructed

in

such a manner as to ~ r i 9 d . The wire

cloth shall ,mounted on the frame without distortion,

.

-

looseness, or waviness. To preventthem:aterial being sieved'

from catching in the joint between the wire cloth and the

frame, the joint shall be filled'smoothly or constructed so

that the material

will

not be trapped.

5.2 Standard Frames Sieve frames shall be circular with

nominal diameters of3, 6,8, 10,

or 12

in. (76, 152,203,254,

or 305 mm) as may be specified. The dimensions shall

conform to the requirements

in

Table

2.

Frames shall be

made from noncorrosive material such as brass or stainless

steel and be of seamless construction.

5.2.1 The bottom

of

the frame shall

be

constructed so as

. to provide an easy sliding fit with any sieve frame

of

the same

nominal diameter,conforming to the specified dimensions.

, 5.2.2 The joint or fillet at the connection of the sieve cloth

to the frame will proVide a minimum clear sieving surface

with a diameter equal to the nominal diameter less 0.5 in

(13

mm). '

NOTE

3-Attention s called to Test Method C 430, which contains

requirements

for

2 in.

(51

in

the mineral

industry, especially the cement group,

Nonstandard

Frames-- :: Other

'sieve frames may be

either square; rectangular, or circular. The frame may have

the sieve cloth permanently installed, or

may

be designed to'

petmit replacement. The provisions of 5.1 apply. '

NOTE 4-While

there are no requirements for nesting of n6n

standard sieve frames, care should, be applied in use to prevent loss

of

material during analysis,:"

5.4 Pans and Covers Pans and covers for use with sieves

shall be made so, as to nest with the sieves. Pans with

extended ,rims ("stacking skirts") shall 'be furnished when

specified. The pans

and

covers shall conform

to

the

S1. Responsibility for Inspection

S1.1

Unless otherwise specified in the contract or pur

chase order, the producer is responsible for the performance

of all inspection and test requirements specified herein.

Except as otherwise specified in the contract or order, the

producer may use his own or any other suitable facilities for

the performance

of

the inspection and test requirements

specified herein, unless disapproved by the purchaser. The

IS

purchaser shall have the right

to

perform

any of

the

inspections and tests set forth

in

this specification where such

inspections are deemed necessary to ensure that materials

meet the specification.

ALL1 When a sieve has

30

openings or less, measure all

openings. In other, cases the ,examination shall proceed in

s t a g ~ s f r o m

it ;sul;vey of geneial condition, to a metl10rucal

scrutiny of individual openings, and finally

to

measurement

ofopeD,ing size for Compliance with the tolerances.

Al.2

7;estMethod One Examination ofGeneral ondi-

tion of he Wire Cloth For this purpose, view the sieve cloth

against a uniformly ilhlluinated background.

If

obvious

deviations; for example, ,weaving defects,creases, wrinkles,

foreign matter

in

the cloth, are found; Ahe wire cloth is

unacceptable.

AL3 Test Method Two Examination for Maximum

In-

dividual

Opening The observer shall carefully and method

i c a l l y ~ ? C a m i n e

the

~ p p e ; r r a n c e

of

all the openings, in order to

deted oversiie openings. Opehings whose width deviates by

about 10 % of the average value are apParent toihe unaided

eye of a skilled observer.

By

this test method" kllown

as

the

"haD:dicap method: ', it, is probable that u oversize openings

exceeding the average value by about 10 % or more will be

detected.

A,t t h e ; ~ J l m e

time it

is

easijy possible to detect

sequences:9f l r u ; g ~ o p e n i l 1 g s and l o c ~ irregularities in the

weaving, appearing as distortions in the openings. If an

opening is found to be larger than that permissible in

accordance with Column 6 of Table 1, the wire doth is

uIlacceptable.

A1.4 Test Method T h r e e ~ D e t e r m i n a t i o n

of

the Size

Distribution

of

Wire Cloth Openings To

establish the

size

distribution of sieve openings, determine theftequency

or

opening size measurements using the following procedures:

A1.4.1 For samples (testing sieves or wire cloth) with

30

or less openings, measure all full openings. For samples with

16

over 30 openings, measure a minimum of

30

full' openings.

AI.4:2 SeleCt openings

in

a line or

i n e ~ d i a g o n a l

to the

direction

of

the

wires

according to

Fig. ALl,

and measure

ten adjacentopenillgs alOIlg each line. When greater mim

bers of openings' are available, ':choose the

'fields

iIl such a

manner that none of the openings being measured overlap.

AL4.3

Measurement

of

he Average

Opening

Size Mea-

sure the average opening: as the distance between parallel

wires (measured at the center

of

the opening-see Fig.

1)

in

both directions, being sure to k p the

and y measurements

separate. Once the opening data is tabulated, check the data

versus the prescribed lirhlts in Table

1.

'

AL5 Test Methdd Four Measurement of the Average
