Foreword
This British Standard, having been prepared under the direction of the General
Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee, supersedes BS 410:1976 which is
withdrawn.
For wire cloth test sieves the R 40/3 series of aperture sizes, where successive
sizes have a ratio of about 1.2, are specified. For perforated plate test sieves both
the R 40/3 and the R 20 series are specified particularly to meet the requirements
of the aggregate, coal and iron industries. A few special non-ISO1) aperture size
perforated plate test sieves, some of such long standing that they have to be
retained and others of larger size than is required by ISO/TC 24, are also included
[see Table 3 c)].
Mesh numbers are included in Appendix E.
A specification for electroformed test sieves is being developed by ISO/TC 24 and
the nominal size of openings is specified in ISO 565-1983. A British Standard
specification for electroformed sheet test sieves is in preparation.
The methods of use of test sieves are described in BS 1796.
In Figure 3 and Figure 7 the term micron is used as this is widely accepted in
industry as representing micrometre (m).
This revised standard now includes an additional aperture size, 32 m, and
requirements for nesting round test sieves.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

1 Scope
This British Standard specifies requirements for
sieves used for testing the size distribution of
granular products in the particle size range
from 125 mm down to 32 m.
Appendix G gives information on the maintenance
of test sieves.
NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard
are listed on the inside back cover.
2 Definitions

NOTE 2 The purchaser should state in the enquiry and order
(see Appendix A) specific requirements, if any, for the material of
the wire cloth.
4.2 Wire
After the cloth is mounted in the sieve, the average
wire diameter at different positions across the
sieving surface shall be uniform so that the limits on
aperture size can be satisfied.
A band of choice of 15 % about the wire diameters
given in Table 2 is permitted.
3)
Marking BS 410:1986 on or in relation to a product is a claim by the manufacturer that the product has been manufactured in
accordance with the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of such a claim is therefore solely the manufacturers
responsibility. Enquiries as to the availability of third party certification should be addressed to the appropriate certification
body.

5.6 Workmanship
Perforated plates shall be uniformly and cleanly
punched. The radius at the corners of square holes
shall not exceed 0.05W + 0.30 mm, where W is the
aperture size expressed in millimetres.
5.7 Mounting
The perforated plate shall be mounted with the
punch entry side uppermost, i.e. burr down.
The crevices above and below the plate at its
junction with its frame shall be filled and left
smooth.
5.8 Tolerances on aperture size
Each aperture size of an unused sieve shall comply
with the nominal size of the sieve within the limits
of tolerance shown in Table 3.
NOTE Aperture size is measured on the centre lines of square
holes (see 5.1) and on the diameter of round holes (see 5.2).
