MS^® Quartz Fiber Filter

Product Description

Quartz fiber filters are made of very pure quartz fibers with no binders and glass fibers. The pure quartz composition prevents the filters from reacting with acidic gases, unlike glass fiber filters that can react and cause false readings. This makes quartz filters well suited for measuring heavy metal concentrations and small amounts of particles. Because of the low level of alkaline earth metals, ‘artifact’ products of sulfates and nitrates (from SO2 and NO2) are virtually eliminated. Quartz fiber filters are used for air sampling in acidic gases(except HF), stacks, flues and aerosols, particularly at high temperatures and in PM-10 testing as well as where absolute purity of the filter medium is required. The filters also exhibit good weight and form stability.
