Mesh Size. What is US Standard Mesh? US Standard Mesh, also called US Standard Sieve is a series of screen sieves generally used to classify granular material by particle size. US Standard Mesh numbers are also more broadly used to describe the size of screen, strainer and filter mesh woven from monofilament or metal wires. US

What is Clay's particle size? Starting with the finest, clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter. Some clay particles are so small that ordinary microscopes do not show them. Silt particles are from 0.002 to 0.05 mm in diameter. Sand ranges from 0.05 to 2.0 mm.

Kaolin or china clay is a commercial clay composed principally of the hydrated aluminosilicate clay mineral kaolinite. The commercial value of kaolin is based on the mineral's whiteness and its fine, controllable particle size. Particle size affects fluidity, strength, plasticity, colour, abrasiveness and ease of dispersion.
