400 0.0015 37 0.037. Mesh Sizes and Microns. What does mesh size mean? Count the number of openings in one inch of screen (United States mesh size). The number of openings is the mesh size. So a 4-mesh screen means there are four little squares across one linear inch of screen. A 100-mesh screen has 100 openings, and so on.
Micron Size Comparisons: Radius of a hydrogen atom = 0.00005 microns Bacteria = 2 microns Diameter of a red blood cell = 8 microns Talcum powder = 10 microns Diameter of a white blood cell = 25 microns Naked-eye visibility threshold = 40 microns Pollen = 60 microns Diameter of a human hair, typical human = 70 microns Table salt = 100 microns

Generally, 40 to 400 mesh sieves are used in pharmaceutical manufacturing during shifting and milling of raw material. Mesh is the number of openings in one linear inch of any sieve or screen. A 10 mesh sieve will have 10 openings and a 400 mesh sieve will have 400 openings in one linear inch.
Mesh vs. Microns. Mesh size refers to the number of openings in one inch of screen. For example, a 4-mesh screen means that there are four squares within one inch of the screen. As the mesh size increases, the particle size decreases to create a finer material. Mesh size is not a precise measurement of particle size, but it is a fair estimation.
A 100-mesh has 100 openings, and so on. As the mesh size increases, the particle size decreases for finer material. 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
More precise specifications will indicate that a material will pass through some specific mesh or micron screen (that is, have a maximum size; larger pieces won't fit through this mesh or micron) but will be retained by some specific tighter mesh or micron (that is, a minimum size; pieces smaller than this will have passed through the mesh or
