Sieves & Meshes

A sieve is a device used to separate particles of different sizes by making use of a mesh of interwoven materials. A coarse mesh allows for larger particles to pass through while a fine mesh only allows smaller particles to pass through. Sieve openings are measured in both metric and imperial units and come in many different sizes.
Sieves & Meshes

Specify the size of the sieve mesh opening and find the nearest standard size as well as the nearest gauges used in industry for comparison.
