Description
A packet containing 10 of 0.4533 membranes (25 mm diameter) are included with each dispenser. Replacement membranes are available in a packet of ten (order GTP-9582).
This type of 1-liter dispenser is specified in various ASTM test methods such as D-2276 and D-5452 which are used to determine the weight of contaminants that are in fuel samples.
One dispenser is recommended for isopropyl alcohol to flush particles off of laboratory apparatus before it is used to insure that those particles are not included as contamination in the fuel sample.
A second dispenser is used for petroleum spirit (either) to flush residual particles out of the sample container and off of the funnel that was used to deliver the fuel sample from its container onto the filter membrane after the container contents have been passed through it.
Both dispensers are equipped with filter housings to remove particles from the isopropyl alcohol and from the petroleum spirit.
The squeeze bulb develops pressure in the 1 liter flask, forcing fluid into the tubing and through the filter membrane. Gammon Technical Products manufactures the aluminum filter housing and membrane support using reagent resistant materials.
