100 Mesh to Micron Conversion
100 mesh refers to the number of mesh holes per inch of the sieve. It is a sieve used for screening coarse powders, medium powders, and interval powders. 100 mesh is the most common and widely used standard sieve. After sieving through a 100 mesh sieve, the powders are divided into two parts: one is the powder above the 100 mesh sieve (It is represented as:
+100 mesh), and the other is the powder below the 100 mesh sieve (It is represented as:
-100 mesh).
Analysis of 100 Mesh to Micron
In theory, 100 mesh corresponds to 149 μm. - 100 mesh means that the majority of powder particles is less than 149 μm. However, due to the different morphologies of powder particles (spherical, irregular, flaky, elliptical, dendritic). This leads to significant differences in the particle size distribution of the screening results. Based on Fushel's experience, if it is a spherical powder with -100 mesh, more than 80% of the powder particles are smaller than 149 μm. If it is irregular powder, only 60% or lower is less than 149 um.
