Different mesh sizes for strainers including microns and hole measurements.

Mesh is a measurement of particle size often used in determining the particle-size distribution of a granular material. For example, a sample from a truckload of peanuts may be placed atop a mesh with 5 mm openings.

The chart below shows the approximate size in inches and microns for various mesh sizes. These values are generally accepted as accurate but are approximates because the thickness of the wire used to make a specific screen will vary the number of openings in the one square inch.

What microns are in relation to US Standard Mesh sizes. Includes cross reference chart for mesh, microns, inches and millimeters. A must-have reference tool.

Mesh size usually is referring to the mesh number (a US measurement standard) and its relationship to the size of the openings in the mesh and thus the size of particles that can pass through these openings.
