• Mesh Number
• Importance of Abrasion Value
Abrasion Value
• Abrasion is the process of scratching, wearing down or rubbing away
• A measure of fineness of a mesh: the numerical value indicates
the number of openings per linear inch. The smaller the mesh number, the
larger particles can pass through the mesh.
• Abrasion testing is a necessity for manufacturers who are interested in
producing high-quality products with a long lifespan.
• The primary reason companies conduct abrasion resistance tests is to
ensure they are producing a quality product that is free from defects;
consistent in performance; and will endure throughout its life cycle.
