Aperture Size Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Aperture Size = (1/Mesh Number)-Diameter Of Wire
w = (1/m)-d
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Aperture Size - (Measured in Meter) - Aperture Size is the minimum clear space between the edge of opening in a screen.
Mesh Number - (Measured in 1 per Meter) - Mesh Number is the number of open slots per linear inch.
Diameter Of Wire - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter Of Wire is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of the wire we are interested in.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mesh Number: 0.005 1 per Centimeter --> 0.5 1 per Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter Of Wire: 3 Centimeter --> 0.03 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = (1/m)-d --> (1/0.5)-0.03

Evaluating ... ...

w = 1.97

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.97 Meter -->197 Centimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

197 Centimeter <-- Aperture Size

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Combined Overall Efficiency of Screen

Go Combined Overall Efficiency = (Mass Flow Rate of Underflow*Mass Flow Rate of Overflow*Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow*(1-Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow))/(Mass Flow Rate of Feed*Mass Flow Rate of Feed*Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed*(1-Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed))

Mass Fraction of Material in Underflow

Go Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow = Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow-((Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow-Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed)*(Mass Flow Rate of Feed/Mass Flow Rate of Underflow))

Mass Flow Rate of under flow

Go Mass Flow Rate of Underflow = Mass Flow Rate of Feed*((Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow-Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed)/(Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow-Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow))

Mass Flow Rate of over flow

Go Mass Flow Rate of Overflow = Mass Flow Rate of Feed*((Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed-Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow)/(Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow-Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow))

Mass Fraction of Material in Feed

Go Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed = (Mass Flow Rate of Overflow/Mass Flow Rate of Feed)*(Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow-Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow)+Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow

Screen Effectiveness based on Undersize Material

Go Screen Effectiveness Based On Undersize = (Mass Flow Rate of Underflow*(1-Mass Fraction of Material A in Underflow))/(Mass Flow Rate of Feed*(1-Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed))

Screen Effectiveness Based on Oversize Material

Go Screen Effectiveness = (Mass Fraction of Material A in Overflow*Mass Flow Rate of Overflow)/(Mass Flow Rate of Feed*Mass Fraction of Material A in Feed)

Screen Effectiveness based on Oversize Material from Overall Efficiency

Go Screen Effectiveness Based on Oversize Material = Combined Overall Efficiency/Screen Effectiveness Based On Undersize

Mass Flow Rate of Feed

Go Mass Flow Rate of Feed = Mass Flow Rate of Underflow+Mass Flow Rate of Overflow

Diameter of Wire in Terms of Mesh Number

Go Diameter Of Wire = (1/Mesh Number)-Aperture Size

Aperture Size

Go Aperture Size = (1/Mesh Number)-Diameter Of Wire

Mesh Number

Go Mesh Number = 1/(Aperture Size+Diameter Of Wire)

Aperture Size Formula

Aperture Size = (1/Mesh Number)-Diameter Of Wire
w = (1/m)-d

What are Gyratory Screens ?

Gyratory equipment, used in mechanical screening and sieving is based on a circular motion of the machine. Unlike other methods, gyratory screen operates in a gentler manner and is more suited to handle fragile things, enabling it to produce finer products. This method is applicable for both wet and dry screening.

How to Calculate Aperture Size?

Aperture Size calculator uses Aperture Size = (1/Mesh Number)-Diameter Of Wire to calculate the Aperture Size, The Aperture Size is the minimum clear space between the edge of opening in a screen, as mesh number increases the size of openings decreases. Aperture Size is denoted by w symbol.

How to calculate Aperture Size using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Aperture Size, enter Mesh Number (m) & Diameter Of Wire (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Aperture Size calculation can be explained with given input values -> 19700 = (1/0.5)-0.03.

FAQ

What is Aperture Size?

The Aperture Size is the minimum clear space between the edge of opening in a screen, as mesh number increases the size of openings decreases and is represented as w = (1/m)-d or Aperture Size = (1/Mesh Number)-Diameter Of Wire. Mesh Number is the number of open slots per linear inch & Diameter Of Wire is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of the wire we are interested in.

How to calculate Aperture Size?
