A sieve is a device used to separate particles of different sizes by making use of a mesh of interwoven materials. A coarse mesh allows for larger particles to pass through while a fine mesh only allows smaller particles to pass through. Sieve openings are measured in both metric and imperial units and come in many different sizes.
