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).
Refers to the size of gaps in the mesh for the ink to be pressed through in screen printing (screen process).
Mesh is the number of openings in a square inch of screen or sieve. It is equal to the square of the number of strands of metal or plastic screening per lineal inch. Standard US mesh screen # 16 equates to a 1.19 millimeter particle diameter, mesh size #40 is 0.42 millimeters.( 081)
The number of openings per inch in a screen. For example, a 325 mesh screen has 325 openings per inch.
