Wire Mesh Terminology

Mesh count	The number of openings per linear inch — e.g. "100 mesh" means 100 openings across one inch. Used mainly for woven wire cloth and filter mesh; see Stainless Steel Wire Mesh (1–635 mesh) and Filter Screen / Cylinder (80–635 mesh).
Aperture / opening	The clear width of a single mesh opening, in mm or microns — determines what particle size passes through. Distinct from mesh count: the same mesh count can have a different aperture depending on wire diameter.
Wire diameter	The thickness of the wire itself, in mm. Combined with aperture, it sets the mesh count and open area — a thicker wire at the same aperture gives a coarser mesh count.
Micron	1/1000mm — the unit used for fine filtration ratings. JoyLink's filter screens are rated from 0.5 to 200 microns.
Open area	The percentage of the mesh surface that is open space rather than wire — higher open area means more airflow/throughput but lower mechanical strength.
Plain / twill / Dutch weave	Plain weave alternates over-under at every crossing for general-purpose mesh; twill weave passes over two wires before under two, allowing finer mesh counts at the same wire diameter; Dutch weave uses different warp and weft wire diameters woven tightly together for the finest filtration ratings.
