ASTM E128 Maximum Pore Diameter and Permeability of Rigid Porous Filters for Laboratory Use
ASTM E128 test method covers the determination of maximum pore diameter and permeability of rigid porous filters used in the laboratory for filtration or diffusion. This test method establishes a uniform designation for maximum pore diameter and also provides a means of detecting and measuring changes that occur through continued use.
Scope:
ASTM E128 test method covers the determination of maximum pore diameter and permeability of rigid porous filters used in the laboratory for filtration or diffusion. They are applicable to filters made of sintered glass, ceramic, metal, or plastic.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM E128, the maximum pore diameter is determined by immersing the filter in a suitable test liquid and applying air pressure until the first bubble of air passes through the filter (Figure 1). The maximum pore diameter is calculated from the surface tension of the test liquid and the applied pressure. Permeability is determined by measuring the flow of air through the filter when subjected to a pressure differential (Figure 2).

Specimen size:
Materials for Filters: Glass, Porcelain, Stainless steel, Tetrafluoro-polyethylene, Trifluoromonochloropolyethylene, etc.
Data:
In ASTM E128, the maximum pore diameter is calculated from the following equation:
D = 30γ/p
Where:
D = maximum pore diameter
γ = surface tension of test liquid in dynes/cm at the temperature of the test, and
p = pressure, mm Hg
Calculate the permeability as follows:
Permeability = R/Ap
Where:
R = rate of flow of air, mL/min,
A = effective area of the filter, and
p = observed pressure of water, cm
Conclusion:
ASTM E128test method covers the determination of maximum pore diameter and permeability of rigid porous filters used in the laboratory for filtration or diffusion.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
