Investigation of the filtration characteristics of the stacked filter unit. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7081985
; ; ;
The characteristics of large pore Nuclepore filters have been investigated to evaluate the performance of the Stacked Filter Unit as a particle size-selective sampler. Pore densities, pore diameters, and filter thicknesses were measured for various lots of 5, 8 and 12 m Nuclepore filters. A formula was developed for the pressure drop vs flow rate, this parameter being a good empirical indicator of filtration efficiency.
