Comparison table of commonly used sieve mesh count and particle size

Screening or sieving is a very important step in the process of processing materials. Different materials have to go through different sieves in different processing methods. The most important parameter of the screen is the "mesh". Such as 100 mesh, 500 mesh, and so on. Many friends have been puzzled by the relationship between the number of meshes and the aperture of the screen. Today Chris will take you to learn about the relevant content.

Mesh count refers to the number of holes on the screen per square inch (1 inch = 25.4mm). 50 mesh means 50 holes per square inch, 500 mesh is 500 holes. The higher the mesh number, the more holes will be.

Now there is no unified technical standard for powder particle size in China and abroad. Each enterprise has its own definition and expression method of particle size index. Screen specifications in different countries and industries have different standards, so the meaning of "mesh" is also difficult to unify. At present, international comparisons use the calculated diameter of particles of equivalent volume to express the particle size. Expressed in μm or mm.

After introducing the required standards of meshes, Chris also prepared a comparison table of commonly used sieve meshes and particle sizes for everyone as follows:

Polyweb Urethane Screen is our highlight product for our clients. It is widely used in industrial sands, metal powders, and other industrial mineral processing plants to achieve better quality products during dry or wet screening.

The normal size is 1040*700mm. The minimum open area could be made to 0.063mm(63μm) to help you reduce the material loss in your fine material production.

Huatao Group can also supply the Polyurethane Screen panel, tufflex screen, poly ripple screen, Woven Vibrating Screen Wire Mesh, and etc.
