Mesh Sizes vs. Particle Diameter Data

A strainer with a cleanable screen can generally retain particles larger than 45 μm (325 mesh). Smaller particles must be retained in a filter. The following tables detail the relationship between mesh size and particle diameter for both strainers and filters.
