Nominal Micron Filtration Rating for Denim Filters?

[mankypro]

I have access to **MANY** denim pants at a low price - I called my thrift store and asked the manager to set aside jeans that aren't selling with intact legs - and they're willing to sell them for like a dollar each.

I'm starting out filtering oils and I've done some jeans filtering, but I'm really wondering what the average denim pore size is? WOuld it be safe to say 50 microns?

the jeans are being used as prefilters. I go down to 1 micron with other filters.

i am thinking of doing this to but i am not sure you can put a number on it. some jeans are thicker than others with better material.

and some will get you in trouble like the ones above
