Definitions for "Mesh size"
Keywords:  sieve, lineal, linear, screen, inch
The size of the openings in a sieve, expressed as the number of such openings per linear inch.
Number of holes per linear measure in a screen printing material.
A standardized method for measuring the size of particles.A sieve's mesh number indicates the number of strands of wire in 1 inch of mesh screen. Higher mesh numbers have a greater number of strands therefore the openings between strands are smaller. Thus a 10 mesh sieve has 1.68 mm openings while a 100 mesh screen has 0.150 mm openings.Particles passing through a sieve are referred to as the minus mesh fraction (eg. -100 mesh) while particles that remain in the sieve are referred to as the plus mesh fraction (eg. +100 mesh).
