Overview
The WS Tyler 1/2″ (12.5mm) ASTM E-11 testing sieve is a precision laboratory instrument designed for particle size distribution analysis. Constructed with a sturdy brass frame and stainless steel wire cloth that conforms to the ASTM E-11 standard, this sieve is recognized as an industry standard for accurate, repeatable testing results. WS Tyler sieves are recognized as the standard for quality and precision in particulate testing, with Tyler developing the basis for the first test sieve standard over 100 years ago.
