How Do You Measure Filter 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 filter mesh size?

Determination of Mesh Size of any Screen: Measurement should be started from the center of the wire to make it more accurate. Count the number the holes in this area. The number of holes in one linear inch is known as the mesh. For example: if 60 holes are found in an inch then the sieve will be of 60 mesh.
