Mesh size and filtration basics Mesh refers to the number of openings per square inch. A higher mesh number corresponds to smaller openings and finer filtration. The screen also indicates the particle size it can filter; higher mesh numbers filter finer particles. The product is folded in packaging, with one fold about 98 cm long. Common filtration ranges and recommendations Filtering wine and tea impurities: 150200 mesh per inch. For results, use a twostep approach: start with 100 mesh, then filter again with 200 mesh. Filtering soya bean milk: 100150 mesh per inch. Filtering milk or juice: 200250 mesh per inch. Paint filtering: 80200 mesh per inch. For ground paint, use 80100 mesh; for general paint filtration, use 150200 mesh. 23 practical use scenarios In kitchen processing, you can remove fine sediment from wine or tea by passing the liquid first through a 100 mesh screen, then through a 200 mesh screen to achieve clarity. In plantbased milk production, start with a coarser 100 mesh screen to remove larger particulates, then switch to 150 mesh for finer filtration. In paint preparation, use an 80200 mesh range to suit the viscosity and pigment size; switch within that range to achieve the desired smoothness and purity. Key attributes at a glance Function: provides filtration by selecting mesh size to match particle size. Compatibility: suitable for liquids such as wine, tea, soya milk, dairy milk, juice, and pigments in paint applications. Size and packaging: folded gauze with folds approximately 98 cm; ready for stacking and storage. Performance: offers a range from coarse to fine filtration, enabling sequence filtration (coarse to fine) for better clarity and purity. Specific uses by mesh range (summary) Coarse filtration: around 80100 mesh (paint or pigment handling) Medium filtration: around 100150 mesh (soy milk) Fine filtration: around 150200 mesh (wine/tea impurities, paint) Very fine filtration: 200250 mesh (milk, juice) Extra fine: above 250 mesh (where applicable)
