ICPI Workshop 2011. “Weed Washer” What is a Micron? (Micron v/s Mesh)Reference: Mesh Micron Conversion ChartThe chart below details the equivalents to convert from mesh to micron or vice versa. These measurementsindicate the mesh or pore openings in your filter bag 54297250210177149125105887463534437U.S. 0170.0015Reference: Principles of Liquid FiltrationLiquid FiltrationLiquid filtration involves the removal of contaminant particles in a fluid system. The grade of filter chosen for aspecific application is usually determined by the size of the particle to be removed. Contaminant particles aremeasured using the "micron" unit of measurement.MicronA micron is a metric unit of measurement where one micron is equivalent to one one-thousandth of a millimetre[1 micron (1μ) 1/1000 mm] or 1 micron (micrometer) 1/1,000,000 of a metre.Visualizing a microna human red blood cell is 5 micronsan average human hair has a diameter of 100 micronsmost humans cannot see anything smaller than 40 microns with the unaided eye.1

This system of measurement ismore accurate when gauging woven filtration structures, such as monofilaments, than it is for gauging non-wovenstructures, such as felts.What is a Micron?A micron is a unit of measure in the metric system. It equals one-millionth of a meter and one-thousandth of a millimeter. It is ashorten word for micrometer.mmeter39.37 inchdmdecimeter3.937 inchcmcentimeter.3937 inchmmmillimeter.03937 inchum micrometer .00003937 inchMicrometers measure things that are very small. It is ideal for measuring things that are so smallthat the naked eye can barely see it. And it is ideal for measuring things so small that that thenaked eye cannot see it. For example, airborne allergens such as pollen and mold spores usually fall just below the level of what the eyecan see.The word comes from the Greek word "Mikros" which means small.The table below shows the placement of this unit of measure in the metric system.You can see how small of a unit of measure that it is. If you were using a high power microscope or a SEM microscope and wanted tomeasure what you were looking at, the next unit of measure that is smaller is a nanometer. One thousand nanometers equals onemicron.The Unit-Length-Conversion website is a great website to convert to and from microns to other units of measure.2

How to Visualize such a Small Unit of MeasureI will try to describe a visual picture to put such a small size into perspective. To know that 25,400 microns equals one inch is one thing.To understand and to be able to visualize what that means is another.To begin, I want to establish a point of reference that we can all relate to. Copy paper for the computer printer can vary in thickness. Forthis example, we will say that the average thickness of common copy paper is 100 microns. I arrive at this figure by measuring a reamof 500 sheets of paper. I take that measurement and divide by 500 and come up with a figure that is very close to .12 mm.Pick up a piece of paper and look at the edge (the thickness) and you will see that the period at the end of this sentence is bigger.The picture below represents the thickness of copy paper.The horizontal line at top of the picture represents the top of the paper which is the writing side. The bottom line in the picturerepresents the bottom of the paper which would be the side that is touching the desk as you write.Look at the edge thickness of a piece of paper and then look at the diagram above. This should help this small size into perspective.If a piece of paper was lying flat on your desk, the right side of the picture above shows what a hundred microns would look likestacking upon top of each other along the edge (the thickness) of the paper.This unit of measure makes it the ideal unit of measure for airborne allergens. As shown in the article Particle Sizes of AirborneAllergens, most allergic airborne triggers range between 1-100 microns in size. And when talking about nasal allergies, the smaller theparticle size, the more potential it has to stay airborne longer before settling. This results in more of a chance for the allergens to bebreathed in.3

MESH TO MICRON CONVERSION CHARTU.S. CRONS4MILLIMETERS

Mesh Sizes and MicronsWhat does mesh size mean? Figuring out mesh sizes is simple. All you do is count the number of openings in one inchof screen (in the United States, anyway.) The number of openings is the mesh size. So a 4-mesh screen means there arefour little squares across one linear inch of screen. A 100-mesh screen has 100 openings, and so on. As the numberdescribing the mesh size increases, the size of the particles decreases. Higher numbers equal finer material. Mesh sizeis not a precise measurement of particle size.What do the minus (-) and plus ( ) plus signs mean when describing mesh sizes? Here’s a simple example of how theywork. –200-mesh would mean that all particles smaller than 200-mesh would pass through. 200 mesh means that allthe particles 200-mesh or larger are retained.How fine do screens get? That depends on the wire thickness. If you think about it, the finer the weave, the closer thewires get together, eventually leaving no space between them at all. For this reason, beyond 325-mesh particle size isusually described in “microns.”What is a micron? A micron is another measurement of particle size. A micron is one-millionth of a meter or onetwenty-five thousandth of an inch.Sieve Mesh # Inches Microns Typical Material14.0555140028.028700Beach Sand60.0098250Fine Sand100.0059150200.002974Portland Cement325.001744Silt400.001537Plant Pollen(1200).000512Red Blood Cell(2400).00026(4800).00012Cigarette SmokeThe mesh numbers in parentheses are too small to exist as actual screen sizes; they are estimates included for reference.5

problem is to use a multi-size mesh. The computation domain is first divided into subdomains. The mesh size is uniform in each subdomain but changes from subdomain to subdomain. Figure 1 shows a typical multi-size mesh. In this case, the mesh size changes by a factor of 2 across the mesh-size-change interface. A factor of 2 change in the mesh .
