A guide to test sieving procedures. Formulates general principles of sieving applicable to many natural and artificial materials.

This part of ISO 2591 draws attention to and describes the main factors affecting test sieving and the results obtained; it also specifies general principles to be followed concerning apparatus, procedure and presentation of results.

It applies to methods in which test sieves of woven wire cloth or perforated metal plate are used. Test sieving methods using test sieves of electroformed sheet will form the subject of ISO 2591-2.
