Cole Parmer USA Standard Test Sieve 3 in. Diameter Sizes 140, 170, 200, 230

Cole-Parmer USA Standard Stainless Steel Test Sieves, 3 in. Diameter (Mesh Sizes 140, 170, 200, 230)

The Cole-Parmer USA Standard 3-Inch Diameter Test Sieve Fine Mesh Set is a precision particle sizing ensemble engineered for high-accuracy gradation, fine powder classification, and quality control analysis in scientific and industrial processing. Fully compliant with ASTM E11 and ISO 3310-1 specifications, this set features four fine-mesh sieves with openings of Mesh No. 140 (106 µm), Mesh No. 170 (90 µm), Mesh No. 200 (75 µm), and Mesh No. 230 (63 µm). Constructed with a full-height 304 stainless steel frame and a precision-woven 304 stainless steel wire mesh cloth, these sieves offer exceptional structural integrity, chemical inertia, and corrosion resistance. Designed for small-volume sample testing, micro-particle distribution studies, and sonic or mechanical shaker operation, these 3-inch sieves ensure high recovery rates and consistent analytical reproducibility.

Technical Performance & Structural Attributes

• ASTM E11 Fine Mesh Compliance: Each sieve is manufactured and inspected to meet stringent ASTM E11 aperture tolerances for precise, certified micro-particle separation.
• All-304 Stainless Steel Construction: Durable 304 stainless steel frame and wire cloth resist chemical degradation, washdown wear, and thermal stress during dry-heat sterilization.
• Interlocking Frame Rims: Precision-engineered male and female rim joints ensure tight, leak-free nesting when stacked in series or mounted on mechanical sieve shakers.
• Full-Height Compact Profile: 3-inch (76.2 mm) diameter with a 1-inch stacked height provides optimal sample agitation room while conserving precious laboratory space and sample volume.
• Crevice-Free Internal Joinery: Smooth, seamless joint between the mesh cloth and internal frame prevents sample cross-contamination and fine-powder entrapment.
