Pressure drop decides pump size, energy use and cleaning interval. See how wire diameter, aperture, open area and fouling shape it in a metal mesh filter.

Mesh Count vs Micron Rating: Reading Filtration Ratings Correctly

Mesh count, aperture and micron rating are three different ways to describe an opening. Learn how they relate and why a micron figure alone can mislead.

How to Choose the Right Metal Filter Mesh for Industrial Filtration
