Grade FVS - Washed, Dried & Weighed Filters:

This paper is fine porosity, fast flow rate, with a 1.5μm size particle retention. Ideally suited for determination of Fixed and Volatile Suspended Solids (FVS).

This material is compliant with the requirements of Standard Method 2540C, 2540D & 2540E and EPA Method 160.2.

• Our filters are washed and rinsed under vacuum with three 20mL aliquots of deionized water.
• The FVS Filters are dried at 105°C in a laboratory oven for 1 hour then placed in a Muffle Furnace at 550°C for at least 15 minutes then cooled and desiccated.
• The muffle furnace and desiccator steps are repeated for two cycles.
  
• The filters are then weighed on an analytical balance to the nearest 0.1mg.
• The filters are placed in an individual aluminum pan. The pan has a barcode label with a sample number and the weight of the filter.
• The box is packaged as a quantity of 100 filters.  The box has a lot number for traceability.
