It is very important to remember that mesh size is not a precise measurement of the mesh opening size. Higher mesh numbers = smaller particle sizes. A 100-mesh screen has 100 openings per inch, and so on.Īs the number indicating the mesh size increases, the size of the openings and thus the size of particles captured by the screen decreases. A 4-mesh screen means there are four little square openings across one inch of screen. All you do is count the number of openings in one linear inch of screen. What does mesh size mean?Mesh size is referring to the mesh number (a US measurement standard) and its relationship to the size of the openings in the mesh and thus the size of particles that can pass through these openings. ISM does not offer mesh itself and is unable to source or provide it.

Note: ISM offers fluid, gas and air flow management components some of which contain filter mesh as a component part. A micron is defined as one-millionth of a meter, a little more than one twenty-five thousandth of an inch. The official symbol for the micron or micrometer is μm, sometimes simplified as um. The term micron is actually a commonly used shorthand for micrometer (American spelling) or micrometre (international spelling). What is a micron?Micron is the measure of length most frequently used to describe tiny particle sizes.
