Silk cloth meshes

Screens in this group are iisiiallv used from 0,013 rn (V2 in) to 60 mesh. Some light free-flowing materials, hovv ever, can be separated at 200 to 300 mesh. Silk cloths are often used. 

The fulminate is precipitated in the form of greyish needles. When the reaction is complete, the reactor is allowed to stand for approximately 30 min while the contents are cooled. 1-2 1. of water are then poured in and the liquid is decanted from above the precipitated crystals. The precipitate is transferred to a cloth filter and washed with distilled water until completely free of acid. The product is then screened on a silk sieve (approximately 100 mesh/cm2) which retains the larger crystals. The smaller crystals are collected for direct use. The large ones are ground under water, passed through the same sieve and added to the previous batch. 125 parts of fulminate are obtainable from 100 parts of mercury, which corresponds to a yield of 88%. 

Industrial screens are made from woven wire, silk or plastic cloth, metal bars, perforated or slotted metal plates, or wires that are wedge shaped in cross section. Various metals are used, with steel and stainless steel the most common. Standard screens range in mesh size from 4 in. to 400-mesh, and woven metal screens with openings as small as 1 m are commercially available.f Screens finer than about 150-mcsh are not commonly used, however, because with very fine particles other methods of separation are usually more economical.

Textiles, as a woven cloth or a nonwoven fabric, are probably the most common industrial filter medium, and are made from natural (cotton, silk, wool) and synthetic fibres. Wire cloths and meshes are also widely used in industrial filtrafions, produced by weaving monofilaments of ferrous or non-ferrous metals the simpler plain weave is used for sieving and sizing operations, and the more complex weaves such as Dutch twills are used on pressure and vacuum filters. At the small scale, particularly for laboratory use, filter papers are common, made from fibrous cellulosic materials, glass fibre or synthetic polymers these papers are made using developments from conventional paper manufacturing processes. 

Screen printing has been used for thousands of years to generate designs. In ancient China, silk was one of the first materials used as a mesh. A pattern was created in the silk using pitch or similar materials to block out unwanted areas, and dye was forced through the pattern by hand to cloth or other surfaces to create colored patterns. By performing several sequenhal screenings with different colors and patterns, complex decorative patterns could...
