Closest Listed Opening
Only 4 µm below the nominal 100 µm target and the primary standard reference to review first.
“100 micron nylon filter mesh” is a common sourcing term, but the current INCE filtration reference table does not list an exact 100 µm woven opening. The closest listed construction is 96 µm JPP96-163, with 89 µm and 119 µm options available when a finer or coarser opening is acceptable.

Use the nominal 100 µm target to start the inquiry, then select the actual woven construction by clear opening, mesh count, thread diameter and process needs.
Only 4 µm below the nominal 100 µm target and the primary standard reference to review first.
11 µm below the target, with a smaller opening and different thread geometry.
19 µm above the target and suitable for review where a larger aperture is acceptable.
The table shows the closest standard woven constructions around a nominal 100 µm buying target.
| Reference | Actual Opening | Difference from 100 µm | Mesh Count / cm | Mesh Count / inch | Thread Diameter | Reference Width |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JPP96-163 | 96 µm | −4 µm | 64 | 163 | 60 µm | 127 cm |
| JPP89-183 | 89 µm | −11 µm | 72 | 183 | 50 µm | 127 cm |
| JPP119-142 | 119 µm | +19 µm | 56 | 142 | 60 µm | 127 cm |
100 micron refers to an aperture target near 100 µm. 100 mesh refers to thread/opening count per inch and does not define the same opening. The closest INCE filtration construction to 100 µm, JPP96-163, is listed at 163 mesh/inch.
The common buying phrase describes the desired clear aperture, not a mesh count.
JPP96-163 is the closest listed construction and should be identified by its actual reference in the quotation.
Mesh count alone cannot be converted reliably without the thread diameter and full woven geometry.
These neighboring exact constructions show where a nominal 100 µm target sits within the current INCE filtration table.
72 mesh/cm · 183 mesh/inch · 50 µm thread.
64 mesh/cm · 163 mesh/inch · 60 µm thread. Closest listed opening.
56 mesh/cm · 142 mesh/inch · 60 µm thread.
48 mesh/cm · 122 mesh/inch · 80 µm thread.
Once the actual parent mesh is selected, define the final dimensions and fabrication form separately.
Final suitability depends on the actual selected opening, nylon grade, chemistry, temperature, cleaning method and finished part design.
Defined-opening screening and equipment protection in compatible systems.
Particle screening before downstream equipment or filling stages.
Process screening only after material and compliance requirements are confirmed.
Surface screening after checking chemistry, concentration and temperature.
Mesh inserts upstream of components that require controlled particle screening.
Discs, screens and custom mesh parts integrated into equipment.
Applications where the selected nylon construction can be cleaned without damage.
Coarse-to-medium screening upstream of finer downstream filtration.
Use the nominal target for the inquiry, then lock the order to an actual listed construction.
Tell us the process calls for approximately 100 µm clear opening and the acceptable retention range.
Review JPP96-163 first, then compare 89 or 119 µm if the process requires a different opening.
Provide roll length, cut dimensions, disc OD/ID, drawing, process liquid, temperature and quantity.
The current reference table does not list an exact 100 µm woven opening. The closest listed construction is 96 µm JPP96-163.
JPP89-183 provides an 89 µm opening and JPP119-142 provides a 119 µm opening. The choice depends on the actual retention, flow and mechanical requirements.
No. Micron is the clear opening; mesh is a thread/opening count. JPP96-163 is close to 100 µm but is listed at 163 mesh/inch.
Yes. After selecting the parent mesh, provide disc outside diameter, center-hole size if any, layer count, edge treatment and quantity.
Mesh size alone does not establish food-contact suitability. Confirm the supplied nylon grade, documentation, operating temperature, cleaning chemistry and finished component requirements.
The mesh page covers woven nylon media and fabricated mesh parts. The NMO filter bag page covers a finished liquid filter bag designed for a compatible filter housing.
Send the required opening, process conditions and finished dimensions. INCE filtration can review JPP96-163 and neighboring standard constructions and confirm what to quote.
