Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Retsch Test Sieve, 200 x 50 mm, 4.00 mm Woven Wire Mesh, Stainless Steel, ASTM E11 used for?
It separates a sample into fractions according to whether particles pass through the 4.00 mm openings. Use it individually or in a suitable sieve stack for material classification and particle size analysis.
2. What are the dimensions of the Retsch Test Sieve?
The sieve has a 200 mm frame diameter and a 50 mm height. Its nominal aperture is 4.00 mm, equivalent to ASTM sieve No. 5. Match both the frame dimensions and aperture to your method and equipment.
3. What is the Retsch Test Sieve made from?
The frame and woven wire mesh are stainless steel. The frame provides stability during handling and sieve stack assembly.
4. Which standard applies to the Retsch Test Sieve?
This version is specified to ASTM E11. RETSCH supplies a test report; additional inspection or calibration documentation can be requested when required by your laboratory procedure.
Cleaning laboratory glassware properly is essential for accurate, safe, and repeatable lab work. This guide explains how to remove stubborn residue from beakers, flasks, bottles, volumetric glassware, and other lab glassware, including grease, dried salts, biological residue, stains, and burnt deposits. It also covers safe cleaning methods, common mistakes, drying and storage tips, and when damaged glassware should be replaced.
Pipette calibration helps laboratories confirm that liquid handling results remain accurate, repeatable, and traceable. This guide explains how pipettes are calibrated to ISO 8655 standards, including gravimetric testing, environmental control, correct tip selection, volume testing, calibration records, and common mistakes to avoid. It also covers when to use in-house calibration and when an external calibration service may be more suitable.
