How do you determine strainer mesh size?
Take one square inch of filtering material (screen) and count the holes in it. If you have 80 openings in that area, then you have an 80-mesh screen. If you have 200, then it is 200-mesh and so forth. Therefore, the higher the mesh number, the smaller the particles that are filtered.
How do I know my mesh size?
Figuring out the mesh number is simple. All you do is count the number of openings in one linear inch of screen. This count is the mesh number. A 4-mesh screen means there are four little square openings across one inch of screen.
What is mesh particle size?
Mesh is a measurement of particle size often used in determining the particle-size distribution of a granular material. For example, a sample from a truckload of peanuts may be placed atop a mesh with 5 mm openings.
What is 40 mesh strainer?

What is a wye strainer?
Y-Strainers (Wye Strainers) Eaton Y (Wye) strainers are a cost-effective solution for the mechanical removal of unwanted solids from liquid, gas or steam lines by means of a perforated or wire mesh straining element. They are used in pipelines to protect pumps, meters, control valves, steam traps, regulators and other process equipment.
What is 50 mesh?
50 mesh size means that there are 50 small openings along one linear inch of the screen. Likewise for 40 mesh and 10 mesh.
What is Mesh scale?
Mesh (scale) Mesh material is often used in determining the particle size distribution of a granular material. For example, a sample from a truckload of peanuts may be placed atop a mesh with 5 mm openings.
