Silica and carbon black form aggregates 10-100 times the size of the primary particles. Mesh size. 

Solid samples are separated by particle size using one or more sieves. By selecting several sieves of different mesh size, particulates with a narrow size range can be isolated from the solid matrix. Sieves are available in a variety of mesh sizes, ranging from approximately 25 mm to 40 )j,m. 

Economic Aspects. Lithium metal is available commercially in ingots, special shapes, shot, and dispersions. Ingots are sold in 0.11-, 0.23-, 0.45-, and 0.91-kg sizes. Special shapes include foil, wire, and rod. Lithium is available in hermetically sealed copper cartridges and in sealed copper tubes for use in treating molten copper and copper-base alloys. Shot is sold in 1.19—4.76 mm (16—4 mesh) sizes. Lithium dispersions (30% in mineral oil) of 10—50-p.m particle size are used primarily in organic chemical reactions. Dispersions in other solvents and of other size fractions can be suppHed. 

Calcium carbonate is one of the most common filler/extenders used in the paint and coatings industry. Consumer and contractor paint formulas can include products from submicrometer size to coarse mesh sizes. The main function of calcium carbonate in paint is as a low cost extender. It is also used to improve brightness, appHcation properties, stabiHty, and exposure resistance. Coarse products help to lower gloss and sheen or even provide textured finishes. The selection of product type and particle size is deterrnined by the desired performance and cost of the coating. 

Product particle sizes vary from standard size of 6/14 mesh—U.S. Std. Sieves to mini-size granules of 10/16 mesh—U.S. Std. Sieves for small particle blends, to micro-size granules of 14/35-U.S. Std. Sieves for use on golf course tees and greens. Approximate mm corresponding to mesh sizes are 6 mesh/3.36 mm 10 mesh /2 mm 35 mesh/0.5 mm. 

The data for a plot like Fig. 18-60 are easily obtained from a screen analysis of the total crystal content of a known volume (e.g., a liter) of magma. The analysis is made with a closely spaced set of testing sieves, as discussed in Sec. 19, Table 19-6, the cumulative number of particles smaller than each sieve in the nest being plotted against the aperture dimension of that sieve. The fraction retained on each sieve is weighed, and the mass is converted to the equivalent number of particles by dividing by the calculated mass of a particle whose dimension is the arithmetic mean of the mesh sizes of the sieve on which it is retained and the sieve immediately above it. 

In industrial practice, the size-distribution cui ve usually is not actually construc ted. Instead, a mean value of the population density for any sieve fraction of interest (in essence, the population density of the particle of average dimension in that fraction) is determined directly as AN/AL, AN being the number of particles retained on the sieve and AL being the difference between the mesh sizes of the retaining sieve and its immediate predecessor. It is common to employ the units of (mm-L)" for n.

The definitions coarsely chopped to finely powdered , which formerly in the pharmacopoeias were given as mesh sizes, are mostly nowadays indicated without such a requirement in the DAB 10, V. 4.N6, only coarsely chopped (4000 to 2800 sieve), finely chopped (2000 sieve), and powdered (710 to 180 sieve) are distinguished. The wide particle-size ranges have rightly been criticized [1, 2], partly on the basis of extensive investigations. 

What is the settling velocity in cm/sec in air at 25°C and 1 atmosphere for a 100 mesh size spherical particle, i.e., one which just passes through the opening in the sieve (specitlc gravity = 2.0) ...

The XK column system is a medium-pressure jacketed glass column system designed for operating pressures up to 5 bar (0.5 MPa). Column dead volumes are less than 0.1% of the total column volume. Wetted materials include EPDM, TEFZEL, superpolyoxymethylene, and flurorubber. Columns use nylon nets of 10-)Lim mesh size and may be used with most SEC media with particle diameters >20 /xm. Columns are intended for use with aqueous solutions and... 

In the dry process the limestone and clay materials are crushed and stored in separate bins and their composition analyzed. After the composition is known, the contents of the bins are blended to achieve the desired ultimate cement characteristics. The blend is ground to a mesh size of 100-200. This small mesh size maximizes the contact between individual particles. 

Whitby (Ref 7) discovered that in the nonsteady-state with mechanical sieve shakers, the percentage passing versus sieving time curve could be divided into two regions with a transition between (Fig 4). Region 1 exists when there are many particles much less than the mesh size still on the sieve, while region 2 exists when the residue on the sieve consists entirely of nearmesh or larger particles... 

The extraction time has been observed to vary linearly with polymer density and decreases with smaller particle size [78,79]. The extraction time varies considerably for different solvents and additives. Small particle sizes are often essential to complete the extraction in reasonable times, and the solvents must be carefully selected to swell the polymer to dissolve the additives quantitatively. By powdering PP to 50 mesh size, 98 % extraction of BHT can be achieved by shaking at room temperature for 30 min with carbon disulfide. With isooctane the same recovery requires 125 min Santonox is extractable quantitatively with iso-octane only after 2000mm. The choice of solvent significantly influences the duration of the extraction. For example talc filled PP can be extracted in 72 h with chloroform, but needs only 24 h with THF [80]. pH plays a role in extracting weakly acidic and basic organic solutes, but is rarely addressed explicitly as a parameter. 

Screen sizes are defined in two ways by a mesh size number for small sizes and by the actual size of opening in the screen for the larger sizes. There are several different standards in use for mesh size, and it is important to quote the particular standard used when specifying particle size ranges by mesh size. In the UK the appropriate British Standards should be used BS 410 and BS 1796. A comparison of the various international standard sieve mesh sizes is given in Volume 2, Chapter 1.

An aqueous slurry containing particles with the size distribution shown below is fed to a 20 ft diameter settling tank [see, e.g., McCabe (1993) or Perry et al. (1997) for definition of mesh sizes]. 

In the IBM, the presence of the solid boundary (fixed or moving) in the fluid can be represented by a virtual body force field -rp( ) applied on the computational grid at the vicinity of solid-flow interface. Considering the stability and efficiency in a 3-D simulation, the direct forcing scheme is adopted in this model. Details of this scheme are introduced in Section II.B. In this study, a new velocity interpolation method is developed based on the particle level-set function (p), which is shown in Fig. 20. At each time step of the simulation, the fluid-particle boundary condition (no-slip or free-slip) is imposed on the computational cells located in a small band across the particle surface. The thickness of this band can be chosen to be equal to 3A, where A is the mesh size (assuming a uniform mesh is used). If a grid point (like p and q in Fig. 20), where the velocity components of the control volume are defined, falls into this band, that is...
