Mesh size indicates the number of openings per square inch. Higher mesh numbers mean more holes and smaller openings. For example, 50 mesh has fewer, larger openings, while 500 mesh has many, finer openings. The mesh number reflects both the screen hole size and the particle size that can be filtered through. Delivery and packaging note: The gauze is supplied folded for packaging purposes, and one fold is approximately 98 cm in length. Recommended filtration ranges by application: Wine and tea impurities: 150200 mesh per inch. For the first filtration, use a 100 mesh filter, then follow with a 200 mesh filter. Soy milk filtration: 100150 mesh per inch. Milk or juice filtration: 200250 mesh per inch. Paint filtration: 80200 mesh per inch. Ground paint: 80100 mesh; regular paint: 150200 mesh. Use scenarios: Home beverage preparation: filter wine or tea to remove solids using the 150200 mesh range, starting with 100 mesh and finishing with 200 mesh for finer results. Plantbased milk filtration: filter soy milk with a 100150 mesh screen to achieve desired texture. Arts and coatings: filter paints to achieve smooth consistency; use 80200 mesh for general painting, 80100 mesh for ground paint, and 150200 mesh for standard paint applications. Key attributes: Function: versatile filtration across beverages, dairy substitutes, and paints. Particle size control: higher mesh numbers yield finer filtration; lower mesh numbers allow larger particles. Size range: applicable mesh sizes span from coarse to fine as specified (80200, 100150, 150200, 200250, and higher examples as noted). Compatibility: suitable for wine, tea, soy milk, milk, juice, and paints, with recommended mesh ranges provided for each application. Performance: enables adjustable filtration precision through selectable mesh screens.
