A micron is a micrometer, or one millionth of a meter (1/1,000,000 meters, or 1 x 10-6 meters). Mesh is a term used for a "screen" or "net" of some kind made of interlacing fibers or strands of some material. The mesh is a semipermeable "fabric" that will allow materials below a certain size threshold to pass through while stopping others. Mesh is also a term used in industry to speak to the particle size of irregularly shaped or granular material. For example, if we say "mesh 22" in regards to particle size, that means that particles that are about 1,000 microns in size and smaller will pass the screen, while larger particles will be obstructed and prevented from going through.

Which is bigger a 250 mesh or a 40 mesh filter?

No. of openings per square inch of wire mesh is specifies the mesh size and its again depends on wire dia also. If the number of openings per square inch is more then partical size which it can pass through the filter will be less. For example for 325 mesh size, where in 44 micron size of particle can get filter. In 200 mesh size 74 micron size of particle will get filter.


What is the difference on between micron and mesh sizes?

Mesh size is usually used in the US. It's just an alternative system used to describe the hole size. For example, 35 mesh (US) is the same as 0.5mm or 500 microns.


What is bigger 1 micron or 0.5 micron?

1 micron > 0.5 micron


What is smaller 4 micron or 600 mesh?

4 microns is smaller. 600 messh related to openings per square inch. The thickness of screen wire must be reduced from this opening size. For example, 500 mesh screens are rated to have an average 25 microns opening size. For 600 mesh this comes to approximately 21 microns.
