Which screen aperture shape is best suited to separating on width rather than thickness?

  • A.Square mesh
  • B.Triangular perforations
  • C.Round perforations
  • D.Slotted perforations

Answer: C

Correct answer: Round perforations

A round hole passes a particle only if both its width and its thickness fit, and since width is the larger of the two it governs - so round perforations sort on width.

A slotted aperture is long in one direction, so a particle can turn edge-on and pass provided its thickness fits, whatever its width or length; slots therefore sort on thickness. Choosing the aperture shape is thus choosing which dimension the separation works on, which is why cleaners carry both types.
