RE: fine mesh screen
I would assume that it means that the opening is to be covered with a mesh screen to prevent passage of "stuff" through the hole.

When you don't understand what the customer wants, usually better to ask them than anonymous strangers.

The biggest word has only 6 letters and every word is in very common use even by people with minimal vocabulary. I don't know how it could be explained in a more simple or clearer manner. Is this a wind up of some sort.

I'm sure it was perfectly clear to the spec writer, within his or her little world.
To other people, 'fine' may mean 'just passes an egg rock', or it may mean 'just passes a blood cell', or anything in between.
You need to ask the supplier for a number, or at least a context.

RE: fine mesh screen
A trip to a local hardware store and talking to a salesman there will probably give you a real good idea of the different grades.
In your case you don't want a very fine mesh, as this would tend to trap dust and dirt and decrease the efficiency of your vent. But you want to make sure that the screen mesh size is small enough to keep out most bugs and large particles.

Mechlady OBVIOUSLY needs to talk to her customer for clarification and all other responses here are simply guesses without more information.
RE: fine mesh screen
Never did learn who set the standard but woven window mesh is suppsoed to be a set size.
Personally, if a custoter doesn't want to answer questions we are better off without them.

RE: fine mesh screen
As others have already said, the particulate size needs correctly specifying by the customer or the unit's OEM. Otherwise, (and taking previous precedent for a corny pun), it'll be very nearly like the Laurel and Hardy punchline - "That's another fine mesh you've gotten us into!"
Sorry, I couldn't resist that one!

Had to give points for that joke... Hilarious.
RE: fine mesh screen
I kind of hate upward facing opening even when screened off. For the same reason the white knight's lunch box was upside down in Alice in Wonderland
RE: fine mesh screen
Instruments, public utility boxes, etc, have mesh screens over air exhausts. Mesh to be determined by application and operating frequency (Hz).
