Mesh size is not a precise measurement of particle size. Linear Equivalents: 1 micron = .00003964 inches ∙ 25,400 microns = 1 inch ∙ 1,000 microns = 1 millimeter Naked-eye visibility threshold = 40 microns

Use this Wateropolis calculator to convert screen mesh size to US Mesh, inches, microns, millimeters quickly.

The chart below shows the approximate size in inches and microns for various mesh sizes. These values are generally accepted as accurate but are approximates because the thickness of the wire used to make a specific screen will vary the number of openings in the one square inch.

Here you will find a useful particle size conversion table that shows micron to mesh conversions for a fast comparison of particle size between these two units. The chart also allows you to compare sieve designations and sieve openings in inches, millimeters, or microns.

Different mesh sizes for strainers including microns and hole measurements.

This table provides a comprehensive conversion chart for mesh sizes in different units, including U.S. Mesh, inches, microns, and millimeters. The conversion details help in determining the appropriate particle size for materials like talc, minerals, and other finely ground products.

What microns are in relation to US Standard Mesh sizes. Includes cross reference chart for mesh, microns, inches and millimeters. A must-have reference tool.

1 Mesh=1 strand per inch. You may calculate the mesh, or the wire diameter/opening. NOTE: For an estimate that most closely matches published mesh charts and real world applications, use a wire diameter of 0.104 mm. Convert between mesh, and wire diameter and opening.

Mesh Size Opening Note: The values shown are standard U.S. mesh sizes with their approximate micron equivalent.
