Blau-Metall Laboratory Sieves

Traditional particle analysis via conventional sieve analysis is an important analytical component across a broad spectrum of industrial sectors as well as numerous scientific fields. It is employed when detailed knowledge on the particle size distribution within a particular medium is desired – typically one of the most fundamental parameters to be determined when characterizing a material. Quality of the sieves can have a major impact on the reliability of such analyses.

Blau-Metall offers a palette of products – including Woven Wire Cloth Test Sieves and test sieves fitted with perforated plates featuring round, square and slotted apertures – suitable for all types of screening tasks: hand sieving, conventional screening analysis of aggregates, dry- and wet-sieving. Our precision-aperture technology and rigorous optical inspections using modern Image Dimension Measurement Systems guarantees our sieves meet the highest criteria of national and international standards such as ISO 3310.

Blau-Metall also offers individual sieve solutions tailored to the unique requirements of your sieving task.

Norm-Compliance • Certification • Re-Certification

As measuring instruments, laboratory test sieves are subject to strict regulations with respect to tolerances and validation of norm-compliance prior to shipment to the customer as well as regular inspection once in operation to ensure reliable sieving results with the proper statistical significance. Given their important role in science and industry, Blau-Metall puts emphasis on norm-compliant production of our sieves, appropriate optical inspections using state-of-the-art Image Dimension Measurement Systems, and fully transparent documentation of inspection results made available to the customer.

Blau-Metall offers detailed inspection certificates and norm-compliance services for a fully integrated quality assurance at delivery of the sieve as well as full traceability of each and every sieve provided by us. Our optical inspection technology permits complete metrological traceability and compliance with national / international standards.

Norm-Compliance Documentation of Blau-Metall Test Sieves:

Regular monitoring of test sieves with respect to their performance and norm-compliance is required by many operators that use sieves as measuring instruments governed by national laws and regulations. Blau-Metall offers re-certification services for used test sieves and issues norm-compliant inspection documents showing all relevant sieve parameters as required by the respective standard.
