Test Sieves (Product Code: SLE/CE/45) are woven-wire or perforated-metal sieve pans used for sifting, filtration and particle-size grading of soils, sand, aggregates and powders in civil engineering and materials testing laboratories. They are made in sizes of 76, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 mm, among others, with frame and mesh generally in stainless steel or brass. They are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Grading, the distribution of particle sizes, controls how soils compact and how aggregates pack in concrete and bituminous mixes. In a sieve analysis, a stack of sieves is arranged with the coarsest opening at the top, the dried sample is poured in and shaken by hand or on a sieve shaker, and the material retained on each sieve is weighed. The percentages passing each opening are then plotted as a grading curve.
Beyond grading, the sieves are used to sift fines out of a sample, to separate mortar or cement from coarser particles, and for simple filtration tasks. Avoid overloading any single sieve, brush the mesh gently from the underside to clear trapped particles, and dry the sieves fully before stacking them away. They are basic lab equipment for colleges, polytechnics and site laboratories in India and international markets.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which sells under the name ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of these Test Sieves and makes them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Engineering colleges, soil and aggregate laboratories, dealers and importers buy them factory-direct, and replacement sieves for an existing stack can be ordered from the same manufacturer — ask us.

What sizes are the Test Sieves available in?
Test Sieves (SLE/CE/45) are available in sizes of 76, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 mm, and other sizes can be discussed. Choose the size that suits your sample quantity and any sieve shaker you already use.
What materials are the sieves made of?
Stainless steel or brass is generally used for both the frame and the woven wire mesh of the Test Sieves. The sieve frames are stamped from 22 ga sheet metal, and the wire cloth is held accurately between two die-formed frames.
What is the difference between woven wire and perforated metal sieves?
Test Sieves with woven wire cloth have square openings formed by the weave and are generally used for finer particles, while perforated metal plates have punched holes and are typically used for coarser material. State which type and aperture openings you need when ordering.
How should test sieves be cleaned and stored?
Clean Test Sieves with a soft brush from the underside, never by pushing particles through the mesh with force or sharp tools. Wash if needed, dry them completely, and store them nested in a dry place so the mesh stays taut and undamaged.
Who manufactures the Test Sieves?
Test Sieves (SLE/CE/45) are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations for single sieves or full sets come directly from the manufacturer.
Can a calibration or inspection certificate be provided?
If your laboratory needs an inspection or calibration document with the Test Sieves, please discuss it with us before ordering so we can confirm what can be provided for the sizes you choose. Add the requirement to your enquiry on the contact page.
