Yeah, the mesh number measurement is annoying because it’s meant to deal with something totally different than what we do. The size of the hole doesn’t really matter. What matters is electrical resistance, mass, and surface area. What we get is what we get though.
It depends. With wire mesh generally no though. More smaller holes means more thinner wires. It’s highly dependent on how the product is produced. A wire mesh needs to be bent and woven, and the wire is generally round. This places limits on the size of wire that can be used of a given type.
Serves me for gittin all uppity like... I'll go back to banging bricks together.
Will you guys cut that out! My brain hurts.
Basically it means finer mesh is more thinner wires, and while you can’t measure the wire the mere fact that they use round wire of a particular type and weave it means there can’t be a lot of variation between one manufacturers #200 mesh 316L and another’s. 400 SS could be a different kettle of fish though. Different metal different properties.
See, the thing is, if mesh is a plate, and a matrix of wires, then what happens to entropy? Has mesh brought about a truly Dickian reality? Is it all different in Fomalhaut system?
Jeez, that sounds an awful lot like I'm shutting it down - but I'm not. Sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking when I write stuff, but it's no surprise really as I rarely tell myself what I'm up to. Someday I'm gonna corner myself ask just what the blazes is going on. But I doubt I'll get a coherent answer. I'll likely just get a bunch of rambling, misleading nonsense.
