Original contribution: sieves & screens written by m.badr on 6/17/2008 at 22:05) Here are some definitions which should help, the same definitions applies to all meshes.
Mesh: A term referring to a woven filtration medium, typically wire cloth or monofilament woven fabric.
Mesh Count: Number of openings or fractions of openings in a lineal inch of wire cloth or monofilament woven fabric.
Mesh Opening: Mesh opening is the difference between wires measured in the warp and weft direction in the projected plane of the wire mesh.
Mesh Size: 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.
