📋 Common Particle Size Reference for Sand Mill Applications

Application	Typical D50	Mesh Equiv.	Industry Standard
MLCC Ceramic Slurry	100 – 300 nm	N/A (too fine)	BET surface area
Lithium Battery Cathode (NMC/LFP)	0.5 – 3 μm	~5000 mesh	D50, D90, BET
Digital Inkjet Ink	0.2 – 1 μm	N/A (too fine)	D99 < 1 μm
Automotive Coating	5 – 15 μm	~1200 mesh	Hegman 6-7
Industrial Coating	15 – 30 μm	~600 mesh	Hegman 4-5
Agrochemical SC/WDG	1 – 5 μm	~2500 mesh	D90 < 10 μm
Pharmaceutical API	1 – 10 μm	~1500 mesh	D90, Span

💡 Mesh Conversion Note: Mesh-to-micron conversion is approximate and varies by standard. US Standard: 325 mesh ≈ 44 μm, 400 mesh ≈ 37 μm. For particles finer than 20 μm, laser diffraction (D50/D90) is the industry standard measurement method. Mesh is rarely used for nano-scale particles.
