Possible Future Developments in Sieving

Research projects have suggested that a multisectioned surface of a sieve can minimize the effects due to aperture distributions in the sieve. It has also been suggested that confederated miniature sieves may be able to replace nest sieving [39, 40]. 

One of the reasons that scientists have been reluctant to move from the standard 8 inch diameter sieves to use more fragile miniature sieves is that many sieving studies
