Quantitative filter papers - Ashless

Whatman™ quantitative filters are designed for gravimetric analysis and the preparation of samples for instrument analysis. They are available in three formats designed for specific requirements.

0.007% ash nominal for Grades 40 to 44 and a typical nominal ash content of 0.01% for the 589 Grades.These filters are very pure and suitable for a wide range of critical analytical filtration procedures.

Applications

Grade 40 (8 μm*)

The classic general purpose ashless filter paper with medium speed and retention. Typical applications include
gravimetric analysis for numerous components in cements, clays, iron, and steel products; as a primary filter for
separating solid matter from aqueous extracts in general soil analysis; quantitative determination of sediments in
milk, and as a pure analytical grade clean-up filter for solutions prior to AA spectrometry. Also used as a high-purity filter in the collection of trace elements and radionuclides from the atmosphere.

Grade 41 (20 μm*)

The fastest ashless filter paper, recommended for analytical procedures involving coarse particles or gelatinous
precipitates (e.g. iron or aluminum hydroxides). Also used in quantitative air pollution analysis as a paper tape for
impregnation when determining gaseous compounds at high flow rates.

Grade 42 (2.5 μm*)

Used for critical gravimetric analysis with the finest particle retention of all Whatman™ cellulose filter papers. Typical
analytical precipitates include barium sulfate, metastannic acid, and finely precipitated calcium carbonate.

Grade 43 (16 μm*)

Intermediate in retention between Grades 40 and 41, and twice as fast as Grade 40. Typical applications include
foodstuffs analysis, soil analysis, particle collection in air pollution monitoring for subsequent analysis by XRF
techniques, and inorganic analysis in the construction, mining, and steel industries.

Grade 44 (3 μm*)

Thin version of Grade 42 retaining very fine particles but with lower ash weight per sample and almost twice the flow
rate of Grade 42.

* Particle retention rating at 98% efficiency
