Either the conventional pressure-reducing valve or a mercury bubbler-type regulator has been foundsatisfactory. The latter type, i

22、llustrated in Fig. 3, consists of a 250 mL glass cylinder and a T-tube held in the cylinder by meansof a rubber stopper grooved at the sides to permit the escape of excess air. The volume and pressure of the air supplied to thefiltration assembly is regulated by the depth to which the T-tube is imme

23、rsed in mercury at the bottom of the cylinder. Absorbentcotton placed in the space above the mercury prevents the loss of mercury by spattering. The air pressure regulatory is connectedto the filter stick and assembly by means of rubber tubing.5.6 Temperature Measuring Temperature-Measuring Device:5

Prior to determining this weight, rinse

34、 the clean,dry weighing bottle and stopper with methyl ethyl ketone, wipe dry on the outside with a cloth, and place in the evaporation assembly to dry for about5 min. Then remove the weighing bottle and stopper, place near the balance, and allow to stand for 10 min prior to weighing. Stopper the bo

Take care to remove andreplace the glass stopper with a light touch.8.5 Apply air pressure to the filtration assembly, and immediately collect about 4 mL of filtr

46、OF MAXIMUM PORE DIAMETER OF RIGID POROUS FILTERSX1.1 ScopeX1.1.1 This test method covers the determination of the acceptability of porous filter sticks used for filtration in Test MethodD721. This test method establishes the maximum pore diameter and also provides a means of detecting and measuring

47、changeswhich occur form continued use.X1.2 DefinitionX1.2.1 maximum pore diameterthe diameter in micrometers of the largest opening in the filter.NOTE X1.1It is recognized that the maximum pore diameter as defined herein does not necessarily indicate the physical dimensions of the largest porein the

48、 filter. It is further recognized that the pores are highly irregular in shape. Because of the irregularity in shape and other phenomena characteristicof filtration, a filter may be expected to retain all particles larger than the maximum pore diameter as defined and determined herein, and will gene

49、rallyretain particles which are much smaller than the determined diameter.X1.3 Summary of Test MethodX1.3.1 The filter is cleaned and wetted with water. It is then immersed in water and air pressure is applied against its upper surfaceuntil the first bubble of air passes through the filter. The maximum pore diameter is calculated from the surface tension of waterand the applied pressure.X1.4 ApparatusX1.4.1 Pressure Measuring Pressure-Measuring Device, mercury-filled manometer or equivalent, capable of measuring pre
