| 1 | 304 Stainless Steel Laboratory Sieve | 304 stainless steel mesh and frame | 20–200 mesh | 850–75 µm | Very high
Excellent corrosion resistance for routine dry and wet screening. | Excellent; washable with water, mild detergent, or ultrasonic cleaning when suitable. | Food ingredients, powders, soil, minerals, and general laboratory work | Choose a certified aperture tolerance when test results must be repeatable. |
| 2 | 316 Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Sieve | 316 stainless steel mesh and frame | 40–200 mesh | 425–75 µm | Extremely high
Better resistance to chlorides, salts, and many chemical environments than 304 stainless steel. | Excellent; smooth metal surfaces reduce residue retention and support thorough sanitation. | Marine products, saline materials, chemical processing, and demanding washdown areas | Usually costs more than 304 stainless steel but is preferable for chloride exposure. |
| 3 | Electroformed Nickel Micro-Sieve | Nickel sheet with precision-formed openings | 100–500 mesh | 150–25 µm | High precision
Uniform openings provide excellent particle-size control, but the thin sheet requires careful handling. | Very good; nonwoven construction avoids loose crossing wires and can be gently rinsed. | Microparticle classification, precision filtration, and research applications | Check the maximum pressure and cleaning method because very fine openings can block easily. |
| 4 | Nylon Monofilament Mesh Tamis | Food-grade or laboratory-grade nylon mesh with polymer frame | 40–200 mesh | 425–75 µm | Good
Flexible and resistant to many dilute chemicals, but less resistant to heat and abrasion than metal. | Excellent; lightweight mesh can be rinsed quickly and does not rust. | Flour, starch, pigments, pharmaceutical powders, and gentle wet screening | Confirm temperature limits, chemical compatibility, and whether the mesh is antistatic if handling fine powders. |
| 5 | Brass Frame Fine Sieve | Brass frame with stainless steel or brass mesh | 30–120 mesh | 600–125 µm | Good
Rigid and stable for dry screening, but brass can tarnish and is less suitable for corrosive or wet service. | Good; wipe or wash promptly and dry completely to limit tarnish and residue buildup. | Traditional food preparation, baking, culinary powders, and dry household use | Verify food-contact suitability and avoid prolonged exposure to acidic or salty materials. |
| 6 | Perforated Plate Pre-Screen Tamis | Stainless steel or anodized aluminum plate | Coarse-to-fine perforations | Typically 500–2,000 µm | Very high
Solid plate resists impact, deformation, and abrasive bulk material. | Excellent; large, open holes are less prone to blinding and are easy to brush or spray clean. | Removing lumps, coarse particles, and oversize material before fine screening | Not a substitute for a woven fine-mesh sieve when apertures below about 500 µm are required. |
| 7 | Vibratory Sieve Shaker Test Sieve | 304 or 316 stainless steel mesh with rigid metal frame | 20–200 mesh | 850–75 µm | Very high
Designed for repeated mechanical screening when the frame and mesh are properly supported. | Very good; removable screens can be washed separately, although fine mesh needs careful brushing. | Quality-control laboratories, aggregate testing, powders, and repeatable particle analysis | Match the sieve diameter, frame height, and clamping system to the shaker being used. |
| 8 | Wet-Wash Stainless Steel Tamis | 304 stainless steel mesh and deep stainless steel frame | 30–200 mesh | 600–75 µm | Very high
Rigid construction tolerates repeated rinsing and controlled wet screening. | Excellent; designed for water-assisted cleaning and reduced dry-powder dust. | Aggregates, soil, mineral samples, food slurries, and materials that agglomerate when dry | Use compatible collection pans and ensure complete drying after washing to prevent contamination. |
| 9 | Reusable Silicone-Frame Fine Sieve | Food-grade silicone frame with nylon or stainless steel mesh | 40–120 mesh | 425–125 µm | Moderate to good
Flexible and impact-resistant, but silicone frames may deform under heavy loads or high heat. | Excellent; nonstick silicone surfaces release many food residues easily. | Kitchen, bakery, culinary, and low-volume food-processing applications | Check dishwasher, oven, and temperature ratings before automated or hot cleaning. |
| 10 | Antistatic Polymer Fine-Mesh Tamis | Conductive or antistatic polymer frame with nylon or stainless steel mesh | 60–200 mesh | 250–75 µm | Good
Reduces static-related powder adhesion, but polymer components generally have lower heat resistance than metal. | Very good; smooth polymer surfaces are easy to wipe, rinse, and dry. | Dry pharmaceutical, cosmetic, toner, and other fine powders sensitive to static buildup | Request verified surface-resistance data and confirm compatibility with the powder and cleaning chemicals. |
