Mesh Sizes and Microns
What does mesh size mean? Figuring out mesh sizes is simple. All you do is count the number of openings in one inch of screen (in the United States, anyway.) 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. Note, therefore that as the number describing the mesh size increases, the size of the particles decreases. Higher numbers = finer powder. Mesh size is not a precise measurement of particle size. Screens can be made with different thicknesses of wire. The thicker the wires, the smaller the particle passing through that screen, and vice versa.
What do the minus ( - ) and plus ( + ) plus signs mean when describing mesh sizes? Here’s a simple example of how they work. –200 mesh aluminum would mean that all particles will pass through a 200 mesh screen. A +200 mesh aluminum means that all the particles are retained on a 200 mesh screen
How fine do screens get? That depends on the wire thickness. But the supplier of our screens does not offer any screens finer than 500 mesh. If you think about it, the finer the weave, the closer the wires get together, eventually leaving no space between them at all. So, beyond 325-400 mesh, we usually describe particle size in “microns.”
What is a micron? A micron is another measurement we use for measuring particle size. A micron is one-millionth of a meter or one twenty-five thousandth of an inch.

Para la construcción de un tejido metálico, se realiza mediante el entrelazamiento de alambres que forman entre sí las mallas; estos alambres se identifican como urdimbre y trama.
La distancia entre los ejes de las mallas la representa el espacio entre la línea central de un alambre y la del otro de la misma malla.
Se entiende por Luz de la Malla a la abertura útil de pasaje, y la superficie de paso es la relación al tanto por ciento entre la superficie total de los ojos de las mallas y la superficie total de la tela.
Mesh: Lo representa el número de luces de mallas dentro de una pulgada inglesa, equivalente a 25.4 mm.

Las telas y mallas son tejidos metálicos de cualquier tipo de acero inoxidable, nuestros productos son utilizados
para la fabricación de cribas vibratorias, filtros y tamices. La malla de acero inoxídale es un medio de filtración
eficaz; es utilizada para separar, cribar o tamizar diferentes tipos de productos y puede ser utilizada en cualquier
industria.
La Malla de Acero Inoxidable de Tejido Plano es utilizada muy comúnmente en la separación de mezclas a baja
presión, que al ser tejida de dos hilos, permite utilizar alambres más gruesos con una abertura más cerrada que le
da mayor resistencia y puede soportar más presión. Ideal para la separación de mezclas o compuestos expuestos
a la humedad.
