Easy
In the Tyler standard screen scale series, when the mesh number increases from 3 mesh to 10 mesh, then
- the clear opening decreases
- Bthe clear opening increases
- Cthe clear opening is unchanged
- Dthe wire diameter increases
Explanation
In the Tyler series (and screen scales generally), mesh number counts the number of openings per linear inch — a higher mesh number means more, smaller openings per inch, so the clear opening (aperture size) decreases as mesh number increases.
