Sieves can often look alike, but take a closer look and you'll find they are not all the same. In fact there can be some very important differences that may affect the results, performance or life of the sieve. The illustration below shows some of the important features of an Endecotts sieve and gives a good idea of what to look for whenever you specify or reorder.

Each sieve is supplied with a calibration certificate recording the number of aperture and wire diameters measured, the average aperture size and standard deviation separately for the warp and weft direction. The type of weave will also be stated.

Matched Sieves
Two or more test sieves each fitted with a sieving medium having similar aperture characteristics. Each is supplied with a Certificate marked "Matched with sieve serial No ..."

Mid Point Sieves
Test sieves with the sieving medium specification tolerances reduced by 30%. Each sieve is supplied with a Calibration Certificate giving the range of tolerances and measurements taken.

Re-Inspection Service
Used sieves are examined and inspected in accordance with the appropriate specification. Complying sieves are issued with a Compliance, Inspection or Calibration Certificate as requested by the customer.
