Filter Paper 120 mm (Product Code: SCI-619/270) is a round laboratory filter paper, 120 mm across, used to hold back suspended solids so that a clear filtrate passes through during gravity filtration in teaching and applied laboratories. Schools rely on it for simple qualitative separations, while testing work in the food industry, agriculture and air pollution monitoring uses the same format for clarifying liquids. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India.

In the classroom the circle is folded into a cone, seated in a funnel and wetted with a little distilled water so that it clings to the glass. Students then separate sand from salt water, collect a precipitate formed in a reaction, or clear a cloudy extract before testing it. Pour down a glass rod and keep the liquid level below the paper's rim so that nothing bypasses the filter.
A fluted fold speeds filtration when only the filtrate matters, while a plain cone is easier to scrape when the solid residue is what you need. Outside schools, papers of this kind clarify samples in food and agricultural testing and support air pollution monitoring and gas detection work. Check that the folded circle sits just below the rim of the funnel you plan to use.

What is Filter Paper 120 mm used for?
Filter Paper 120 mm is used to separate solids from liquids and to clarify liquids by gravity filtration. Its uses range from teaching simple qualitative separations in schools to sample work in the food industry, agriculture, air pollution monitoring and gas detection.
What grade or pore size is this filter paper?
The grade, retention and pore size of Filter Paper 120 mm are not specified on this listing. If your method needs a particular filtration speed or retention class, tell us through the contact page before ordering so we can confirm what is available.
How do you fold Filter Paper 120 mm for a funnel?
Fold Filter Paper 120 mm in half, then in half again, and open one pocket to form a cone with three layers on one side. Tearing a small corner from the outer fold helps the cone seal against the funnel once it is wetted.
