What is the best way to clean ROBU sintered glass filters?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EFor general cleaning, hot hydrochloric acid or a mixture of sulfuric acid and sodium nitrate is often effective. Always rinse thoroughly with deionized water. Avoid using hydrofluoric acid or strong hot alkalis, as these will attack the glass structure.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E2. Can I use ROBU filter crucibles in a muffle furnace?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EYes, ROBU filter crucibles made of borosilicate glass 3.3 are highly heat-resistant. However, avoid sudden temperature shocks; always heat and cool the crucibles slowly to prevent cracking.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E3. How do I choose the correct porosity for my application?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EPorosity 1 (100\u2013160 \u0026micro;m) is ideal for coarse filtration and gas distribution. Porosity 3 (16\u201340 \u0026micro;m) is the standard for analytical filtration, while Porosity 4 (10\u201316 \u0026micro;m) is used for very fine precipitates.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E4.
