6 mesh to micron: 3,350 µm (3.35 mm)

6 mesh is an opening of 3,350 microns, which is 3.35 mm or 0.132 inch, on the ASTM E11 US standard sieve series. The nearest wedge wire equivalent is a 3,350 micron (3.35 mm) slot, because wedge wire is specified by its slot rather than a mesh count.

Mesh sizes follow the ASTM E11 US standard sieve series. Between listed sieves the mesh is interpolated and marked "about".

Equivalent wedge wire slot: 3,350 micron (3.35 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 6 mesh

As a general reference on the Wentworth grade scale, particles smaller than 3,350 µm pass: very coarse sand, 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 3,350 micron (3.35 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.
