   DEFINITIONS:
  1. Bubble point is the minimum pressure required to force air through a membrane which has been prewet with water
  2. Flow rate indicates initial flow rate at 10 PSI using a KGS 47 filter holder
        Water: using water prefiltered to 0.1 µm pore size
        Air: using prefiltered nitrogen at 10 psi
  3. Porosity refers to the percent open area
