FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 1) (Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Sieves, Sieving and Other Sizing Methods Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1953 and subsequently revised in 1962, 1978 and 1985. The second revision
of this standard was published in three parts, namely,
Part 1 Wire cloth test sieves
Part 2 Perforated plate test sieves
Part 3 Methods of examination of test sieves
The third revision of this standard (Part 1), was taken up in view of the experience gained during the course
of implementation of this standard and also to make it technically equivalent with the following International
Standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO):
ISO 565-1983 Test sieves — Metal wire cloth, perforated plate and electroformed sheet — Nominal
sizes of openings
ISO 3310-1-1982 Test sieves — Technical requirements and testing — Part 1: Test sieves of metal wire
cloth
In third revision, the number of aperture sizes were considerably increased. While the principal sieve sizes
as per ISO 565 were adopted in the standard, due to practical consideration. The prevailing Indian sizes were
also permitted temporarily which were proposed to be withdrawn in the next revision of the standard. This was
to facilitate switch-over to ISO sieve sizes in a smooth manner.
In this revision, the Committee has decided to include the aperture sizes as specified in ISO 3310-1 : 2016
including the aperture sizes to corresponding R 20/3 series (principal size) and R 20 and R 40/3 series
(supplementary size) as per ISO 3310-1 : 2016. This was in accordance with the decision taken during the last
revision of the standard and also necessitated on the basis of the comments and requests received from the
various stakeholders in view of the free export and global trade practices. It is intended to bring this standard at
par with the ISO 565-1990 and ISO 3310-1 : 2016 to the extent possible.
Further, in this revision the material requirements for the sieve media and frame is improved to permit various
new materials available for the product in the market. However, choice for the selection of the material is left to
the user.
The aperture sizes specified in Table 2 of IS 460 (Part 1) : 1985 are also kept in this revision as Annex A which
will be subsequently withdrawn once the stakeholders get used to this revised version.
This standard specifies that purchaser should supply certain information including material with enquiry and order
for procurement of test sieves to suit the requirements.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given at Annex B.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )’. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

NOTES
1 All aperture sizes apply for plain weave.
2 It is recommended that the principal sizes be used where possible, but if a series having smaller steps is required it should be drawn
from only one of the supplementary series and not from both, that is, from either R 20 or R 40/3.
3 On account of the small number of apertures to be measured, the calculation of the parameter σ0 has no physical reality, denoted
by ‘b’.
