26、imens of the filter paper under test. To examine the filtrate,swirl it in the flask to collect any precipitate present in thecenter of the bottom of the flask, and then view the filtrate fromabove against a black background. In this manner 0.3 mg orless can be detected. Complete retention of fine pr
27、ecipitates isindicated by the absence of visible barium sulfate (BaSO4)inthe filtrate.10.2.3.2 For Retention of Ferric HydroxideAdd a slightexcess of dilute NH4OH to the cold (room temperature) FeCl3solution and shake, then promptly filter the suspension throughone specimen of the filter paper under

Test at lea
30、st four specimens per sample.10.2.3.3 For Retention of Lead SulfateDissolve 10 g oflead acetate in 100 mL of distilled water; filter through a filterpaper capable of retaining BaSO4. Then add 40 mL of 6 N H2SO4and 80 mL of alcohol. After the mixture has stood for 4 h,filter the suspension through on
31、e specimen of the filter paperunder test, in a 60 long-stemmed glass funnel into anErlenmeyer flask. Wash the precipitate and the precipitationflask with dilute H2SO4(5 mL of concentrated acid to 100 mLof distilled water). Then wash the precipitate on the paper withalcohol. Examine the filtrate as d
32、irected in 10.2.3.1. Test atleast four specimens per sample.10.2.3.4 For Retention of Barium SulfateDissolve 0.55 gof K2SO4in 275 mL of water and add 1.0 mL of HCl. Thisvolume of solution contains the equivalent of about 0.1 g ofsulfur. Heat the solution to the boiling point and, when at thattempera
33、ture, add slowly and with continuous stirring 25 mL ofBaCl2(50 g/L). Let the mixture stand without agitation for from2to6hatatemperature between 70 and 100C.NOTE 1It is very important to have the specified acid concentrationand to keep the solution boiling during the precipitation.10.2.3.5 Fold four
34、 of the filter papers in the usual way forfiltration and place them in separate funnels. Stir the precipitatesuspension until the BaSO4is evenly distributed throughout theliquid. Then filter about 50 mL through each cone of paper,collecting the filtrates in 250-mL Erlenmeyer flasks. Examinethe filtr
35、ate in the flasks as directed in 10.2.3.1.10.3 Water Flow Rate:10.3.1 Apparatus:10.3.1.1 Glass Funnel, 60.10.3.1.2 Buret, 50-mL.10.3.2 Procedure:10.3.2.1 Use distilled water that has been prefiltered throughthe test paper or through an 0.45-m membrane. Prepare threeof four times as much water as is
36、necessary to fill the foldedpaper cones to be tested.10.3.2.2 Carefully fold a circle of the filter paper in theusual way, to form a 60 cone, having a diameter of 11 cm.Place it in a 60 glass funnel and fill it with the prefilteredwater. Press down the folds to expel all air pockets and to makethe t
37、hree plies smooth and in good contact. Allow about threefourths of the water to filter, then pour off the excess, saving thewater to wet other test specimens. Remove the wet paper conefrom the funnel and suspend it freely over the buret bysupporting the cone in a wire loop of such diameter that itsu
38、pports the cone at about two thirds of the distance from theapex to the rim.10.3.2.3 Using prefiltered water having a temperature of 236 2C, pour into the cone, all at once, a known volume that isapproximately two thirds of the volume of the cone. When onefifth of the water has filtered through into
39、 the buret, start a stopwatch. When half the remaining volume has filtered through,stop the stop watch and record the time in seconds. Test at least10 circles, using the same water over and over and adding itfrom the prepared supply as found necessary.NOTE 2Asuitable volume of water initially poured
40、 in, for filter circles11 cm in diameter, is 25 mL.10.3.2.4 The time required to filter half the volume of waterremaining in the conical filter is substantially the same for anygiven paper, irrespective of the size of the test specimen.10.3.3 ReportReport the filtration time in seconds andstate the
41、diameter in centimetres of the filter paper used for thetest.10.4 Wet Bursting Strength:10.4.1 Procedure Clip together a pack of five squares (64mm by 64 mm) of the filter paper, and immerse the pack indistilled water at 23 6 2C for 5 min. Remove the pack fromthe water, and allow it to drain while s
42、uspended for 10 s. Thenimmediately measure the bursting strength of the wet pack ina Mullen tester that conforms with the requirements of MethodD 774, test for bursting strength of paper. Test at least five andpreferably ten packs.10.4.2 ReportThe report shall state the number of testsmade, and the
43、average, maximum, and minimum test results.11. Visual Inspection11.1 Circles from each package of the sample shall beinspected visually for compliance with Section 3.12. Ascertaining Compliance with Specification12.1 The data generated through performance of the testmethods outlined in Section 9 sha
44、ll be compared with Table 1and Table 2 to determine compliance.13.
