Sieves mesh size

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. 

Influence of sieve mesh sizes (if sieves are used) on the granulation properties (e.g., particle size distribution, moisture content, poured density, tap density, and flow capacity)... 

The following table provides the relationship between particle sizes and standard sieve mesh sizes. It should be noted, however, that the trend in HPLC has been toward shorter columns containing much finer particles than the standard sieves will separate. These values will be of use when packing relatively large-diameter columns for bench-top elutions, however. See page 13 for additional information. 

Anatase with relatively large particle size was prepared by heating the freshly prepared oxide to 400°C anda sample of particle size 74> Pi > 53 microns was obtained by employing Tyler standard sieves (- 200 + 270 mesh). These particles were crushed to finer particles and sieved (mesh sizes -270 + 325 and -325) to provide anatase samples (P2and P3) with particle sizes 53>P2>43 and P3<43 microns respectively. Since the thermal history of all the three samples is the same, it was assumed that any changes in transformation characteristics can be attributed to particle-size effects. The kinetics of transformation of the three samples were studied at 700°C and the transformation curves shown in fig. 4a, clearly indicate that smaller particle size of... 

Sieving Sieve mesh sizes should conform with FAO requirements (75 pm). 

Recommended as interim specification, subject to resolution of sieve mesh size and incorporation of the amendments proposed. 

Place into kettle and heat to 70°C while stirring transfer the melted fatty mass under vacuum (-0.3 mm) through the inline sieve (mesh size 0.150 mm). After the addition, evacuate again to -0.3 atm, then stir for another 15 minutes and homogenize for 5 minutes under the same condition. 

The polymer prepared as in Example 6.1 was ground in a mortar and dried in vacuo. Then the polymer particles were passed through a sieve (mesh size 32-65 pm) and suspended in acetonitrile. Too small particles were removed by decantation. The particles thus obtained were slurried and packed in a stainless-steel column-tube using an HPLC pump. In order to wash out the atrazine (used as the template for the molecular imprinting) from the column, AcOH/MeOH solution was caused to flow until a stable baseline was obtained (monitored by UV detector). The column was now available for HPLC analysis.

Larger sieve openings (1-1/4 in.) have been designated by a sieve "mesh" size that corresponds to the size of the opening in inches. Smaiier sieve "mesh" sizes of 3 1 /2-400 are designated by the number of openings per iinear inch in the sieve. 

Solid Support for Packed Columns—Chromatographic grade diatomateous earth solid support material within a particle size range of 60 to 100 sieve mesh size is recommended.
