This is my orientation, others on the list may see it otherwise. 

It is necessary to standardize a protocol, then duplicate the procedure
each time you make a production run. Take a representative sample and send
it off to a lab to be tested for ppm (and particle size if you really want
to get fancy). Then stick to the exact procedure in the future. It is
aproximate, but close enough I think, for personal use.

Lab supply houses have different types of filter paper. I use 25micron,
5micron, and 1micron filters. About 6-10 cents a piece.

VWR has a good selection you can get a catalog from them or order over the
phone 1-800-923-5000.

I'll send you some materials via private e-mail, they are kind of bulky.

Good Luck and 

God Bless,

Scott
