Filtration |
| Flow Rate Data - Particle Retention |
| Tables provide micronic retention standards, wire cloth screen thickness, weights and flow rate comparison data for oil, fuel and air. |
Screening - Sifting - Sizing - Sorting |
| Popular mesh specifications organized by screen opening in descending order from large (0.446") to small (0.0010"). |
| ASTM Specification D448. |
| Bed Depth Formula |
| The material bed should not be allowed to reach a depth that prevents the undersize from stratifying before discharge at the screen surface end. |
| Particle Size / Screen Mesh Comparison Table |
| Screens for classifying, sizing, straining, sieving, are typically secured by clamping rails that apply tension across the screening surface. |
| Screen Specification Selection Tips |
| Assistance with selection of woven wire cloth screen specifications. |

| Standard designations correspond to the values for test sieve apertures as recommended by the International Standards Organization (ISO) |
| Total Required Screening Area |
| A separate calculation is required for each deck of a multiple deck screen, although the same formula is utilized for each calculation. |
| Valuable tips to reduce operating costs by maximizing screen life. |
| Screen Openings suitable for dry screening applications. |
| Screening Tables for dry and wet screening applications. |

| Screen Camber and Bow |
| If unbalanced warp tensions exist in a woven wire screen, that screen will usually assume a "crescent" or "banana" shape when laid flat upon a horizontal surface. This deviation from a straight line is hereby defined as "camber." |
| Space Cloth Opening Tolerances |
| Allowable deviation of space cloth openings. |
| The allowable deviations in the mesh count shall be applied separately for warp and shute (weft) directions. |
