Nombre de mailles par pouce linéaire de la toile d'un tamis fin. 2, record 3, French, - mesh
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le nombre de mailles par unité de longueur du fond d'un tamis caractérise la finesse du matériau tamisé. Souvent, on exprime cette finesse en mesh, c'est-à-dire par le nombre de mailles par pouce linéaire (25,4 mm). Ainsi, la grosseur maximale de grains d'abrasifs, qui joue un rôle important dans l'exécution des travaux par abrasion, tels que le polissage, est désignée par le nombre maximal de mailles par pouce d'un tamis qui laisse passer ces grains. 2, record 3, French, - mesh
