A group of industrial wire cloth specifications suitable for general purpose screening applications, made of high strength square mesh cloth, available in several types of material. The wire diameters are moderately larger than "mill grade" , with a lower percentage of open area.
 
Mechanical Properties
The properties of a material that reveal its elastic and inelastic behavior where force is applied, thereby indicating its suitability for mechanical applications; for example, modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, elongation, hardness and fatigue limit.
 
medium mesh
Wire cloth having a mesh count of 30 x 30 to 90 x 90 inclusive.
 
mesh no.
This generally denotes the number of apertures in a length of 25.4mm (1"). While it is considered an obsolete designation, it is used extensively.
 
mesh
Mesh designates the number of openings and fractional parts of an opening, per lineal inch. Mesh is determined by counting the number of openings from the center of any wire to the center of a parallel wire, one inch in distance.     When the point one inch distant from the center of a wire falls between wires within an opening, the mesh count is expressed as a fraction.
 
micron
One micron is equivalent to 0.001mm or 0.00003937 inches. The micron is the unit of measure in the metric system. It is frequently used when referring to the aperture size or particle-retention of filter cloth.
