Mesh is a measurement of particle size often used in determining the particle-size distribution of a granular material. For example, a sample from a truckload of peanuts may be placed atop a mesh with 5 mm openings. When the mesh is shaken, small broken pieces and dust pass through the mesh while whole peanuts are retained on the mesh.
Wentworth grain size chart from United States Geological Survey Open-File Report 2006-1195: Note size typos; 33.1mm is 38.1 & .545mm is .594 Beach cobbles at Nash Point, South Wales Grain size (or particle size ) is the diameter of individual grains of sediment , or the lithified particles in clastic rocks .
A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used in geology, civil engineering, [1] and chemical engineering [2] to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material by allowing the material to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and weighing the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve as a fraction ...
Particle size is a notion introduced for comparing dimensions of solid particles (), liquid particles (), or gaseous particles ().The notion of particle size applies to particles in colloids, in ecology, in granular material (whether airborne or not), and to particles that form a granular material (see also grain size).
Nmagedman> The "Sieve size conversion chart" has columns labeled BSS, Tyler, and US. Tyler is described in the article, but BSS and US are not. Could someone please describe those systems? Further, the article describes FEPA scales, but they are not included in the chart. Would someone please add them? Thanks! 17:28, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
A mesh basic service set (MBSS) is a self-contained network of mesh stations that share a mesh profile, defined in 802.11s. [9] Each node may also be an access point hosting its own basic service set, for example using the mesh BSS to provide Internet access for local users.

Coarser grains were numbered as sulfur-free gunpowder (SFG n): 'SFG 12', 'SFG 20', 'SFG 40' and 'SFG 90', for example where the number represents the smallest BSS sieve mesh size, which retained no grains. Sulfur's main role in gunpowder is to decrease the ignition temperature. A sample reaction for sulfur-free gunpowder would be:
