Bundles that have been split apart into smaller bundles which are composed of only a few or single filaments. Fuzz is usually made of fines.
Small particles, flakes, or chips of rice, which can appear in all types of packaged rice products.
A relative term, but generally means "small pieces left over." Small pieces of cast iron borings might be as small as grains of sand, while small pieces of broken ingot molds might be as large as a fist. Often, the size of the fines should be defined because of this variance.
Portion of a powder-like material composed of particles smaller than a specified size.
Portion of the soil smaller (finer) that the #200 sieve (0.074mm).
Material having a particle size substantially smaller than a specified aperture.
The powder, dust, silt-size, and sand-size material resulting from processing (usually crushing) rock.
Fine milled chips used in the production of particleboard; larger than sander dust or wood flour.
Particles of rock and organic material smaller than “Sand.†In practice, fines are generally composed of clay formed by the natural break down of the softer rock minerals.
Any materials which will pass through a screen whose openings are smaller than the specified minimum pellet or crumble size.
Small particles waste, such as dust
Fines: A fraction of the thermal spray powder that is finer than a particular mesh size under consideration
Powder formed as product of unintentional fracturing, grinding, and attrition of catalyst particles.
Very small particles or grains.
Small powder particles, Usually under 10 microns. Fish Eyes A large surface depression in a coating film often caused by contamination such as oil or silicone oil.
Extremely fine part of powder coatings. (15 microns or finer.)
Tiny chips that collect in the cutting fluid system. Can interfere with cutting action and rob fluid of antitrust properties, so should be periodically removed.
very fine silt and clay particles found in soil.
Essentially muddy water—about 85% water and 15% fine clay particles by volume—produced as a result of extraction.
In general, the smallest particles of coal or mineral in any classification process or sample of the run-of-mine material.
sand or other fine-sized material associated with placer deposits. Usually the last material left during the panning process.
small particle sized material in papermaking usually defined as material below 75 microns
Clay or silt particles in soil.
A term used to describe a portion of the overall gradation of a material from a specific size to dust. The use of the term varies from industry to industry; what is considered fines in one industry may be considered coarse in another industry. Fines are desirable in some applications, and unwanted in others.
Fine milled chips used in production of particle board. Fines are larger than sander dust or wood floor. The faces of particle board panels are made of fines, with coarser chips used to make up the inner parts of the particle board.
Small fibre particles in pulp.
The portion of a powder composed of particles which are smaller than the specified size
Silt and clay particles in a soil, generally those smaller than the No. 200 or 0.075 sieves.
Small particles of ion exchange resins resulting from the physical breakdown of resin beads.
Fragments or particles of rock or mineral which are too minute to be treated as ordinary coarse material. When found in pore spaces of reservoir rock, fines sometimes can be moved by produced fluids to cause formation damage.
Very small particles of rock, mineral or sediment.
Extremely small particles which are smaller than the specified size (in millimeters) for the medium. Fines may be formed in the manufacturing process, may result from breakdown of medium particles (ion exchange resins or activated carbon) during service, or may result from the dissolving of a medium such as calcite.
Very small particles (usually under 200 mesh) accompanying larger grains, usually of moulding powder.
Particles or dust of polymer formed during the process of cutting to produce chip.
Extremely small particles of filter media or ion exchange material which are smaller than the specified size for the medium, often the result of breakage or chemical or physical deterioration.
Cement mixture, which is used to finish masonry surfaces because of its very fine particles. When applied with a burlap cloth, it gives a uniform, thin coating on the surface.
Aggregate passing a #4 sieve.
Sand grain sizes substantially smaller than the predominating grain sized in a molding sand; also material remaining on 200- and 270-mesh sieves and pan after tests for grain size and distribution.
