About Extraction Thimbles Size and Membrane Selection



Thimble sizes should be selected carefully to fit extractors correctly. The different sizes represent the established practice of showing the internal diameter and overall length of the thimble in millimetres. Therefore, an extra allowance for wall thickness should be made when calculating external diameters. The thimble should pass through the narrower end of the upper extractor socket, allowing 1-2 mm clearance, and be 5-10 mm above the level of the top of the siphon tube.

Thimble Media Selection:

Cellulose

Thimbles made of high grade cotton cellulose. Smooth interior surface. Absolutely seamless. Fit most Soxhlet extraction devices

  • Fat determination of meat and diary products
