*1. Flow time is the time in seconds required to filter 100 mL of distilled water at 20°C under pressure supplied by a 10 cm water column through a 10 cm2 section of filter paper.
*2. Absorption speed is the distance in cm that water will travel in an upright strip of filter paper in ten (10) minutes at 20°C.
*3. Wet strength is the pressure measured by Mullen Burst Strength Tester after soaking in water.
*4. Conversions between manufacturers are not absolute. Use these conversions as a guideline.
• Available in discs in the following diameters (mm): 55, 70, 90, 110, 125, 150, 185, 240, 285, 300, 330, 360, 400, 500, 600
• Additional sizes available upon request.
• Order by specifying first the grade of filter then the diameter, e.g. (No.1, 125 mm), (No.232, 55 mm)
