WHATMAN Grade 2 Qualitative Filter Paper

Slightly more retentive than Grade 1 with a corresponding increase in filtration time (i.e., slightly slower filtration speed). More absorbent than Grade 1. In addition to general filtration in the 8 μm particle size range, the extra absorbency is utilized, for example, to hold soil nutrient in plant growth trials. Also used for monitoring specific contaminants in the atmosphere and in soil testing.

Grade 2 certified is pecifically developed for use in measuring the Ignition Strength of Cigarettes according to ASTM standard E 2187-04. The paper meets both the conditioned (26.1 ± 0.5 g, SD ≤ 0.3 g) and dried (24.7 ± 0.5 g, SD ≤ 0.3 g) weight requirements.
