`Larger sieve openings (1 in. to 1/4 in.) have been designated by a sieve "mesh" size that corresponds to t
`size of the opening in inches. Smaller sieve "mesh" sizes of 3 1/2 to 400 are designated by the number o
`openings per linear inch in the sieve.
`The following convention is used to characterize particle size by mesh designation:
`
`• a "+" before the sieve mesh indicates the particles are retained by the sieve;
`• a "-" before the sieve mesh indicates the particles pass through the sieve;
`• typically 90% or more of the particles will lie within the indicated range.
`
`For example, if the particle size of a material is described as -4 +40 mesh, then 90% or more of the mater
`will pass through a 4-mesh sieve (particles smaller than 4.76 mm) and be retained by a 40-mesh sieve

`(particles larger than 0.420 mm). If a material is described as -40 mesh, then 90% or more of the materia
`will pass through a 40-mesh sieve (particles smaller than 0.420 mm).
