12.1  Test Sieves 

 

Decisive for the accuracy and reliability of the measurement result is, in addition to the 
reproducible operating Horizontal Sieve Shaker the quality of the test sieve. Test sieves of 
Retsch GmbH are high quality measuring instruments for which only mesh fabrics and 
perforated sheets of the corresponding standards are used. Each test sieve is tested five times 
and is given a serial number, as well as a quality certificate after the final check.
