Other Information

It is important to note that the sieving methods are different between the two standards. The Products by the Style Standard are mostly sieved by Perforated Punched Metal Sheets(round holes), while the AA-M Standard are by Stainless Square Meshes. Therefore there are differences of 1.0mm to 2.0mm in the size description.
