Gilson 8″ Stainless Half-Height Lab Sieve No. 8 ASTM E11 Certified

Description

Product Overview

The Gilson 8 inch stainless half-height lab sieve No 8 is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern scientific laboratories and quality‑control environments. Crafted from high‑grade stainless steel, the sieve offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and mechanical wear, ensuring a long service life even under continuous use. Each sieve is individually serial numbered, providing traceability and compliance with ASTM E11 standards for laboratory sieves. The half‑height design reduces storage space while maintaining the structural integrity required for precise particle size analysis. With a mesh size designated as No 8, this sieve is ideal for separating particles in the range of 2.00 mm, facilitating accurate granulometric assessments across a variety of sample types. The product includes a Certificate of Conformance confirming adherence to ASTM E11 specifications, giving users confidence in the consistency and repeatability of their test results. Designed for ease of handling, the sieve features smooth edges and a robust frame that can withstand repeated shaking, tapping, or mechanical vibration without deformation.

Usage

In research laboratories, the Gilson 8 inch stainless half-height sieve is employed for a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from pharmaceutical powder analysis to geological sample preparation. Its stainless construction makes it suitable for environments where exposure to aggressive solvents, acids, or bases is common, as the material will not rust or degrade, preserving the integrity of the mesh. The sieve is compatible with standard laboratory shaker tables, mechanical vibrators, and manual tapping devices, allowing users to select the most appropriate method for their specific testing protocol. For quality‑control labs in manufacturing settings, the sieve provides a reliable means of verifying particle size distribution in raw materials, intermediate products, and finished goods, supporting compliance with industry standards and internal specifications. The half‑height profile also enables efficient stacking and storage in limited‑space laboratory cabinets, while the robust frame ensures that the sieve can be safely handled during routine cleaning and maintenance procedures. Whether used in academic research, pharmaceutical development, food safety testing, or industrial material verification, this sieve delivers consistent performance and accurate results.

FAQ

What is the mesh size of the No 8 sieve?

The No 8 sieve has a mesh opening of 2.00 mm, which is ideal for separating particles larger than this size while retaining finer material for analysis.

Can this sieve be used with chemical solvents?

Yes, the sieve is made from high‑grade stainless steel that resists corrosion from most laboratory chemicals, including acids, bases, and organic solvents, making it suitable for a wide range of chemical environments.

How does the half‑height design affect performance?

The half‑height design reduces the overall height of the sieve, allowing for more efficient stacking and storage. Despite the reduced height, the frame remains rigid, ensuring consistent shaking and vibration performance for accurate particle separation.

Is a Certificate of Conformance provided?

Each sieve comes with a Certificate of Conformance confirming that it meets ASTM E11 requirements, providing confidence in the mesh accuracy and overall product quality.

What support does Gilson offer after purchase?

Gilson provides technical assistance, usage guidelines, and maintenance recommendations, as well as a responsive customer service team to address any questions or concerns throughout the product’s lifespan.
