Laboratory Analysis—Version 1.0. Gulf Coast Network Standard Operating Procedure NPS/GULN/SOP—SEA05. Gulf Coast Network, Lafayette, Louisiana. Summary This standard operating procedure (SOP) for laboratory analysis of total suspended solids (TSS) is adopted verbatim from USEPA Method 160.2. Revision Log Revision Date Author Changes Made Reason for Change New Version # METHOD #: 160.2 Approved for NPDES (Issued 1971) TITLE: Residue, Non-Filterable (Gravimetric, Dried at 103–105°C) ANALYTE: Residue, Non-Filterable INSTRUMENTATION: Drying Oven STORET No. 00530 1. Scope and Application a. This method is applicable to drinking, surface, and saline waters, domestic and industrial wastes. b. The practical range of the determination is 4 mg / L to 20,000 mg / L. 2. Summary of Method a. A well-mixed sample is filtered through a glass fiber filter, and the residue retained on the filter is dried to constant weight at 103-105°C. b. The filtrate from this method may be used for Residue, Filterable. 3. Definitions a. Residue, non-filterable, is defined as those solids which are retained by a glass fiber filter and dried to constant weight at 103-105°C. 4. Sample Handling and Preservation a. Non-representative particulates such as leaves, sticks, fish, and lumps of fecal matter should be excluded from the sample if it is determined that their inclusion is not desired in the final result. b. Preservation of the sample is not practical; analysis should begin as soon as possible.

  • Laboratory Filtration Principles and Chemical Compatibility Chart Filtration Simplified
    Laboratory filtration Principles and chemical compatibility chart Filtration simplified Basic filtration concepts and terms Selecting a filter with the appropriate properties can help you achieve accurate results and reach discovery faster. But with so many types of filters to choose from, how can you be sure you’re making the right choice? GE Healthcare Life Sciences, maker of Whatman™ brand filtration products, has assembled this compilation of basic filtration concepts and terms to clarify the various options available to you and speed up your selection process. Ash content Hydrophilic Determined by ignition of the cellulose filter at 900°C Because hydrophilic filters possess an affinity for water in air. Minimizing ash content is essential in gravimetric and can be wetted with virtually any liquid, they are applications and also a useful measure of the level of typically used for aqueous solutions and compatible general purity. organic solvents. Chemical compatibility Hydrophobic It is very important to ensure that the structure of the These types of filters repel water, and are thus best suited filter media will not be impaired by exposure to certain for filtering organic solvents as well as for venting and chemicals. In addition, exposure to these chemicals gas filtration applications. should not cause the filter to shed fibers or particles, or add extractables.
