I made a post regarding different granule sizes twice now.

The usual "mesh" sizes used for CO2 absorbant are Tyler screen size.
The mesh numbers denote the number of openings in the screen per linear inch

Dräger Dive Sorb is 5-9 mesh (between 2 mm and 4 mm)

Grace Sodasorb and Molecular Sofnolime come in 4-8 mesh (2,38 and 4,76 mm)
as well as Sodasorb in 6-12 mesh (1,41 mm and 3,36 mm)
and Sofnolime in 8-12 mesh (1,41 mm and 2,38 mm)

Sperasorb would be somewhere between 5-7 or 5-8 mesh.

More info on particle size.

So drägersorb is equivalent to sofnolime 4-8 in terms of size.

Thanks
