Large sieve openings (1 in. to 1/4 in.) have been designated by a sieve "mesh" size that corresponds to
the size of the opening in inches. Small sieve "mesh" sizes of 3 1/2 to 400 are designated by the number
of openings per linear inch in the sieve.
The following convention is used to characterize particle size by mesh designation:
+ "+" before the sieve mesh indicates the particles are retained by the sieve;
+ "-" before the sieve mesh indicates the particles pass through the sieve;
+ typically 90% or more of the particles will ie within the indicated range.
For example, if the particle size of a material is described as -4 +40 mesh, then 90% or more of the
material will pass through a 4-mesh sieve (particles smaller than 4.76 mm) and be retained by a 40-mesh
sieve (particles larger than 0.420 mm). If a material is described as 40 mesh, then 90% or more of the
material will pass through a 40-mesh sieve (particles smaller than 0.420 mm)
