10 mesh to micron: 2,000 µm (2 mm)
10 mesh is an opening of 2,000 microns, which is 2 mm or 0.0787 inch, on the ASTM E11 US standard sieve series. The nearest wedge wire equivalent is a 2,000 micron (2 mm) slot, because wedge wire is specified by its slot rather than a mesh count.

Equivalent wedge wire slot: 2,000 micron (2 mm)
Wedge wire is specified by its slot directly, so a wedge wire screen has no mesh count. Quote the slot in mm or microns.

What passes through 10 mesh
As a general reference on the Wentworth grade scale, particles smaller than 2,000 µm pass: coarse sand, medium sand, fine sand, very fine sand, silt, clay. Real separation also depends on particle shape, the screen's open area and how the screen is loaded.
The wedge wire equivalent
A wedge wire screen is specified by its slot, so the equivalent is a 2,000 micron (2 mm) slot. Because the V-shaped wire widens behind the slot, particles that pass the face do not wedge in it. See mesh to micron and slot size and how to choose slot and open area.
