Question

Number of opening per linear inch is called ​

Answer 1

Answer: This may help you

Explanation:

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. The fineness of any sieve or screen depends upon the width of the wire used. The wire used in 10 mesh sieve will be thicker than the wire used in 60 mesh sieve.

Answer 2

Answer:

All you do is count the number of openings in one linear inch of screen. This count is the mesh number. ... As the number indicating the mesh size increases, the size of the openings and thus the size of particles captured by the screen decreases. Higher mesh numbers = smaller particle sizes
