The 60 mesh specification of pc case magnetic dust filter is defined by Fan sizes per ATX / 120 mm form factor. The tables below reproduce the standard row — wire diameter, aperture and open area — and convert the count to a micron rating for filtration selection. The technical drawing redraws to the values selected.
60 Mesh Specification Row (Fan sizes per ATX / 120 mm form factor)
| Mesh count | Wire diameter (mm) | Aperture (mm) | Micron rating (u00b5m) | Open area (%) | Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60-Mesh | 0.190 | 0.233 | 233 | 30.4 | SS304, magnetic frame |
60 Mesh to Micron & Aperture
| Openings per inch | 60 |
|---|---|
| Aperture (opening width) | 0.23 mm |
| Micron rating | 233 µm |
| Standard wire diameter | 0.19 mm |
| Open area | 30.4 % |
Aperture = (25.4 mm ÷ mesh count) − wire diameter. The micron rating equals the aperture in micrometres; actual retention also depends on particle shape and cake formation.
Wire Diameter Options at 60 Mesh
| Option | Wire dia | Aperture | Micron | Open area | Weight (SS) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy wire | 0.247 mm | 0.176 mm | 176 µm | 17.4 % | 1.88 kg/m² |
| Standard wire | 0.190 mm | 0.233 mm | 233 µm | 30.4 % | 1.12 kg/m² |
| Fine wire | 0.143 mm | 0.281 mm | 281 µm | 44.0 % | 0.63 kg/m² |
Heavier wire adds strength and abrasion life but closes the aperture; finer wire opens the aperture and raises throughput at the cost of durability. Specify mesh count AND wire diameter to fix the aperture unambiguously.
Open Area & Flow at 60 Mesh
The standard 60 mesh weave presents an open area of about 30.4%. At this count the mesh presents little flow resistance; selection is normally driven by particle retention and mechanical strength rather than pressure drop.
60 Mesh Cloth Weight
Standard 60 mesh stainless cloth weighs approximately 1.12 kg/m² (density 7.93 g/cm³ basis; brass and copper weave roughly 10% heavier, aluminum about one third). Use this figure for roll handling and freight estimation.
Typical Applications for 60 Mesh PC Case Magnetic Dust Filter
60 mesh pc case magnetic dust filter is commonly specified for general straining and sieving, paint and coating filtration, grease filters, insect screening, grain cleaning and pre-filtration ahead of fine media.
Plain, Twill or Dutch Weave at This Rating?
Plain square weave is the standard at this count: every opening is a true square of the stated aperture, retention is absolute for hard spherical particles, and the cloth is easy to clean.
What PC Case Magnetic Dust Filter Does
Catching dust at the fan intakes of desktop PCs and industrial computers with a stiff stainless mesh held on by a magnetic frame.
Fitting & Care
- Mount filters only on intakes so the case runs at slightly positive pressure and dust enters through filtered openings.
- Remove and rinse or vacuum filters monthly; dry fully before refitting.
