Whatman 113 Filter Papers

These filter papers are a part of Whatman’s renowned line of filtration products, known for their consistency and performance.

Key Features of Whatman 113 Filter Papers:

Size: The 240mm diameter is quite large, making it suitable for filtering larger volumes of liquids.

The pack of 100 is ideal for laboratories that need a high quantity of filters for routine applications.

Material: Whatman 113 filter papers are typically made of high-quality cellulose fiber, offering high filtration efficiency and fast flow rates. This makes them ideal for applications where you need to filter substances at a relatively high speed.

Grade and Application: The Whatman 113 filter paper is a coarse filter paper, often used in general filtration applications, such as removing coarse particles or impurities from solutions.

It is typically used in processes like precipitation or general separations in chemical, pharmaceutical, or environmental testing.

Its coarse nature means it will effectively filter larger particles, but for finer filtration (removing very small particles), you may need a different grade of filter paper (like Whatman 1 or 2).

Filtration Characteristics:

Porosity: The Whatman 113 has relatively large pores, which gives it a fast filtration rate but lower efficiency for fine particles.

Flow Rate: High, which means it can process larger amounts of liquids quickly compared to finer-grade filter papers.

Typical Applications:

General Laboratory Filtration: Ideal for filtering coarse precipitates or suspensions.

Environmental Testing: Used for water and air quality testing where faster filtration is needed.

Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industries: Suitable for separating coarse materials during product purification processes.

Food and Beverage: Can be used in filtration tasks in food processing or quality control in beverage industries.

Durability: The Whatman 113 filter papers are strong and resistant to tearing, even when wet, which ensures that the filtration process will be efficient and uninterrupted.
