0.1 This Indian Standard
FOREWORD
( Part 1 ) ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 20 February 1985, after the draft finaSizing Methods Sectional lized by the Sieves, Sieving and Other Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 This standard was first issued in 1953 and revised in 1962 and 1978. The 1978 revision of this standard was published in three parts, namely, Part 1 dealing with wire cloth test sieves; Part 2 dealing with perforated plate test sieves and Part 3 dealing with methods of examination of test sieves whether made from wire cloth or perforated plates for determining their compliance with Part 1 and Part 2 of this standard. The revision of this standard (Part 1) has been taken up in view of the experiences gained during the course of implementation of this standard and also to bring it in conformity with the foIlowing International Standards published by the International Organization for Standardization ( IS0 ): IS0 IS0 565-1983 Test sieves--Woven metal wire cloth, perforated and electroformed sheet-Nominal sizes of openings. 33 1O/l-l 982 Test sieves-Technical requirements Part 1 Test sieves of metal wire cloth. plate

0.3 In this revision the number of aperture sizes have been considerably increased. The Committee while revising the standard felt that the change in the sieve sizes above 5*6 mm from R 20 seriesin 1962 version to R 4013 in 1978 has created difficulties in the implementation, as was evident from the various comments received from the users, since no time period was given for change-over for modifying the test procedure and specification followed at various Ievels for over 15 years. The sieve sizes specified in 1962 version are still in vogue. The Committee, therefore, decided to prrmit these sieve sizes given in 1962 version temporarily for a period of about 5 years with suitable precautionary note in the standard so that

3.2 Wire Diameter - After the cloth is mounted in the sieve the avtrage wire diameter it different positions across the sieving surface shall bc uniform in order that the limits on aperture size can be obeyed. The preferred wire diameters d ( see Fig. 1 ) and the permissible range of and dbl,, arc given in co1 5, 6 and 7 of choice of wire diameters d,, Table 2. 3.3 Weave - Wire cloth slail be woven to produce uniform square apertures within the tolerances given in 3.4. All aperture sizes apply for plain weave, but for aperture sizes of 63 pm and smaller, twilled weave is permissible for aperture sizes of 4.00 mm and greater the wire shall be crimped before weaving. 3.3.1 Perpendicularity of Wires - If the purchaser requires a tolerance on perpendicularity, this shall be included in the order. No tolerance on perpendicularity of warp and weft wires is specified in this standard since users requirements may differ according to the material to be tcstcd. A tolerance of f 3 from perpendicularity may be acceptable in mally cases and a visual inspection of gcncral appearance of perpendicularity is acceptable in other cases. It should be recognized that a test should apply to
