NOTICE
N16.0028
Damage of the sieve mesh fabric
Drying temperature > 80 °C

At higher temperatures, especially fine metal wire meshes can become
warped, leading to a reduced tension of the mesh fabric inside the sieve
frame and hence, makes the test sieve less efficient during the sieving
process.
•
The drying temperature for test sieves must not exceed 80 °C!
