Mesh to Micron Converter
5 mesh size is approximately 2980.00 microns, use this mesh to micron converter to find out mesh size conversion.
- Micron = 25,400 / Mesh Number
- Micron = 14,900 / Mesh Number (for rough estimates)
- Micron = 25,400 / (Width of Wire + Width of Opening) (for detailed calculations)
This converter helps translate between two different units of measurement for particle size or screen opening: mesh and microns.
Mesh is a unit that refers to the number of openings per linear inch in a sieve or screen. For example, a 100-mesh screen has 100 openings per linear inch. On the other hand, a micron (also known as a micrometer) is a metric unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
The mesh to micron conversion tool allows professionals to easily switch between these two units, facilitating better communication and standardization across different applications and industries.
How to Convert Mesh into Micron
To convert mesh to micron:
- Determine the mesh size you want to convert.
- Use the conversion formula (discussed in the next section) or consult a reliable conversion table.
- Apply the formula or look up the corresponding micron value in the table.
Converting mesh to micron involves using a specific formula or referencing standardized conversion tables.

Mesh to Micron Conversion Formula
The formula to convert mesh to micron is:
Micron = 25400 / (Mesh Number)
This formula is derived from the fact that there are 25,400 microns in one inch. By dividing this number by the mesh number (openings per inch), we obtain the size of each opening in microns.
To convert mesh to microns, there are several formulas and methods that can be used.
Alternative Formula for Approximation
For a rough estimate, particularly for mesh sizes between 50 and 400, you can use:
Micron = 14,900 / Mesh Number
This formula provides a quick way to estimate the micron size based on the mesh number.
Wire Thickness Consideration
To account for the wire thickness in mesh production, you can use a more detailed approach:
- Sum the width of the wire used to produce the mesh and the width of the opening.
- Divide 25,400 (the number of microns per inch) by the resulting total to determine the size in microns.
What is 100 Mesh in Microns
Micron = 25400 / (Mesh Number)
Micron = 25400 / 100
Micron = 254
100 mesh is equivalent to approximately 254 microns.
This means that a 100-mesh screen has openings that are about 254 microns wide. Particles smaller than this size would pass through the screen, while larger particles would be retained.
How Many Mesh is 1 Micron
Mesh Number = 25400 / Micron
Plugging in 1 micron:
Mesh Number = 25400 / 1
Mesh Number = 25400
This result indicates that 1 micron is equivalent to 25400 mesh. However, it’s important to note that this is a theoretical value.
In practice, mesh sizes this fine are not commonly used or manufactured. The finest mesh sizes typically available are around 400 to 635 mesh, corresponding to about 37 to 20 microns, respectively.
How Many Microns is a 20 Mesh Screen
Micron = 25400 / (Mesh Number)
Micron = 25400 / 20
Micron = 1270
A 20 mesh screen has openings of approximately 1270 microns.
This relatively coarse mesh size would allow particles smaller than 1270 microns (or 1.27 millimeters) to pass through, while retaining larger particles.
Mesh to Micron Conversion Table
| Mesh Size | Calculation | Micron Size (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 25400 / 10 | 2540 microns |
| 35 | 25400 / 35 | 726 microns |
| 60 | 25400 / 60 | 423 microns |
| 100 | 25400 / 100 | 254 microns |
| 200 | 25400 / 200 | 127 microns |
| 325 | 25400 / 325 | 78 microns |
| 400 | 25400 / 400 | 63.5 microns |
