Abstract
An apparatus for determining the values of one or more characteristics of a liquid that has support means for supporting a filter member in use, a reservoir for holding a sample of liquid in direct or indirect contact with the filter member in use and at least one device operable to record one or more images of the filter member and/or liquid to record the value of one or more characteristics of a liquid moving through the filter member in use.
Claims20
An apparatus for determining the values of one or more characteristics of a liquid, comprising support means for supporting a filter member in use, a reservoir for holding a sample of liquid in direct or indirect contact with the filter member in use and at least one device operable to record one or more images of the filter member and/or liquid, to record the value of one or more characteristics of a liquid moving through the filter member in use.
A method for determining the value of one or more characteristics of a liquid, wherein the method comprises the steps a) placing a sample of liquid in contact with a filter member to create an advancing liquid front through the filter member;
- b) imaging the advancing liquid;
- and c) using the or each image to record the value of one or more characteristics of the liquid.
