i bought some 150 mesh screen on amazon, the small piece is from the first purchase i made. i needed to make a bigger screen so i bought a bigger piece of 150 mesh screen from amazon and from a different seller. one of these is 150 mesh, one of these is something else.

The one on the right/small piece is closer to 150 mesh.

Mesh how many openings there are in 1 square inch, you can count the openings in person better than we can from a photo.

thanks to my microscope i was able to zoom in enough to seen this, i put a piece of graph paper under to define a 1 inch square. final count 30 x 30 in 1 inch grid. that would make it 300 mesh then right?

Unless I’m mistaken 30x30=900

 

[zemetrius]

my calculator agrees with you. so this is smaller than 300 mesh?

Mesh sizes are conventionally defined by the number of openings per linear inch, not per square inch - according to the American National Standard for Industrial Wire Cloth (American Standard ASTM - E 11).

So 150 Mesh should have 150x150 (22,500) openings per square inch and (allowing for wire strands of typical thickness), the apertures themselves would be below 0.004 inches (0.1mm) across.

Note that 'Mesh Size/Number' alone does not define the actual aperture size unless the wire strand thickness is also specified.
