325 mesh to micron: 45 µm (0.045 mm)
325 mesh is an opening of 45 microns, which is 0.045 mm or 0.00177 inch, on the ASTM E11 US standard sieve series. The nearest wedge wire equivalent is a 45 micron (0.045 mm) slot, because wedge wire is specified by its slot rather than a mesh count.

Equivalent wedge wire slot: 45 micron (0.045 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 325 mesh
As a general reference on the Wentworth grade scale, particles smaller than 45 µm pass: 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 45 micron (0.045 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.
