Sintered glass is a glass mesh used for filtration. It can be used instead of filter paper, and in fact is preferable to filter paper. Its other advantage is that it is permanent so you can get various different pieces of glassware with sintered glass in it e.g. an enclosed filter suitable for filtration under nitrogen.

As for the porosity.... Porosity of sintered glass is labelled by integers from 0-5 (viz. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) where 0 has a pore size of 160-250 micrometres and is considered course filtration, that is fluid will pass through it quickly and some finer solids will pass through. Whereas, porosity 5 has a pore size of 4-10 micrometers so even ultrafine solids will not pass through and liquids will drop through.

I hope this is clear, makes sense and is helpful.

What pore size does porosity 4 sintered glass have?

Porosity 4 sintered glass typically has pore sizes ranging from 4 to 16 micrometers, with an average pore size of around 8 micrometers. The pore size distribution can vary depending on the specific manufacturing process and conditions used to produce the sintered glass material.


What pore size is related with porosity 2 of sintered glass filter?

What kind of filter paper is used in sintered glass crucible?

Sintered glass crucibles typically use a type of filter paper known as "sintered glass filter discs" or "sintered glass filters." These filters are made from finely powdered glass that is sintered to form a porous structure, allowing for the filtration of fine particles while maintaining chemical resistance. They are commonly used in laboratory applications for filtration, drying, and other processes where durability and purity are essential.


What sintered glass crucible made of?

Sintered glass crucible is a glass mesh used for filteration. It can be used instead of filter paper, and in fact it is preferrable to filter paper. Sintered glass crucible must be cleaned then dried to constant weig befoe it can be used to filter out precipitates such as silver chloride.


What is a sintered funnel?

A sinterd funnel is simply a funnel with a built in filter. The filter is sintered, I think that this means that small particles are compressed together (and heated ?) to form a single piece of material with many small holes. The sintered funnels I use are made of glass, a link to some images is below (not mine). http://curlyarrow.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-clean-your-sintered-funnel.html I have also used sintered polyethylene and sintered stainless steel for filtering.

Why is a sintered glass funnel should be handled with tongs?

To avoid contamination, especially in chemical analysis.


What is sintered bronze?

Sintered bronze is a material produced by compacting and heating bronze powder, which typically consists of copper and tin, without melting it. This process, known as sintering, allows the particles to fuse and form a solid structure while retaining the porous nature of the material. Sintered bronze is often used in applications such as bearings, bushings, and filters due to its excellent wear resistance, low friction properties, and ability to withstand high temperatures. Its porosity also allows for the retention of lubricants, enhancing its performance in various mechanical applications.


What is low porosity and high porosity?

What does sintered mean?
