Total Suspended Solids Dried at 103-105
Principle A well-mixed sample is filtered through a weighed standard glass-fiber filter and the residue retained on the filter is dried to a constant weight at 103 to 105.The increase in weight of the filter represents the total suspended solids.It the suspended material clogs the filter and prolongs filtration,it may be necessary to increase the diameler of the filter or decrease the sample volume.To obtain an estimate of total suspended solids,calculate the difference between total dissolved solids and total solids
