American standard sieves: (ASTM): They conform to the ASTM E11 standard and unlike the perforated plate sieves, are available in only 8 and 12 inch diameter sizes. Their nominal aperture ranges from 20 micrometers to 200 millimeters. Woven wire mesh sieves: This is the most commonly used sieves. They confirm with the ISO 33101 and have a nominal aperture ranges from 20 micrometers to 3.55 millimeters. Their diameter ranges from 100 to 450 millimeters. Based on the endrequirement, sieves are selected and brought into use. According to Logos Weld – leading Welding Electrode Machinery Manufacturing Plant – it is important that the size and capacity of the work load should be taken into consideration before investing on any such machines. The other important aspects that needs to be paid attention to are:
•
The construction of the sieve
•
Its design
