mesh grade
also called perforation grade
The perforation/mesh fineness of a straining vessel — perforated holes (a colander), wire-mesh (a basket strainer), fine-mesh (a sieve/flour sifter), or micro-mesh (a tea strainer). It is the EXCLUSIVE differentia of the Strainer family: the grade of what passes through (water drains while pasta is retained; flour sifts while lumps are retained; tea passes while leaves are retained). Distinct from `wall_construction` (A11): wall_construction is the open wall FORM of a carrying basket (woven/perforated-vented/wire-mesh/soft-sided) whose question is ventilation/breathability for carrying solids and which by definition cannot hold liquid; mesh_grade is the separation FINENESS of a draining vessel whose whole job is to hold liquid transiently and grade what passes through. A basket is never a strainer (it cannot hold water); they sit on disjoint families answering different dominant questions and never co-occur on one instance — the latch/sealing/lid_mechanism A11 pattern. Concern facet, axis-eligible (a colander vs a fine sieve is a genuine buy choice).
Mesh grade is answered with one word chosen from the mesh grades list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
It belongs to facet — one facet of a product.
