OBJECTIVE:
INTRODUCTION:
METHODS
1.For determintaion of SS ,a well mixed sample was filtered through a weighed standard glass
fibre filter papar(0.45 micron) and the residue retained on the filter was dried to a constant
weight 1033 Cto 10 53 C.The increase in weight of the filter paper represents the suspended
solids.
2.The procedure were basd on the following equation
SS=(Fdf-Fd)/V
Where Fdf=The weight of the filter plus dry filtered solid
Fd=The weight of the clean dry filter
V=Volume of sample
3.The dry filter was weight.
4.The filter was put in the filtration chamber and the vaccum pump was started.
5.10-20mL of water sample was poured on the filtration chamber.
6.The water sample was evaporated leaving only the filter.
7.The filter was carefully removed and was placed in weighing container before dried in the
oven at 603 C for 24 hours.
8.The filter was checked after 24 hours by starting weighing it again.
9.The observation was recorded.

CONCLUSION
Based on the experiment that has been conducted, it can be said that the objectives of the
experiment were successfully acheived as the suspended solid in water sample can be
determined whereas it is
