ABSTRACT:
The disposable filter device of the invention is particularly suited for testing for the amounts of tars and nicotine in cigarettes and comprises a housing having two components (2,4) one of which has a cylindrical portion (8) and the other of which has an annular flange (48) whereby the two members can be telescoped together with a filter disc (6) therebetween for collecting the tars and nicotine. The member with the cylindrical portion is formed of a relatively soft resilient substantially non-hygroscopic polymer and the member with the annular flange is formed of a relatively hard substantially non-hygroscopic polymer. The resiliency of the member with the cylindrical portion in combination with the relative hardnesses of the members and the particular shapes of the telescoped portions (12,48) enables the two members to be removably secured together with an excellent seal therebetween. Because both members are of substantially non-hygroscopic polymers, the device is substantially free of moisture absorption and hence free of inaccuracies, due to moisture absorption, in determining the amounts of tar and nicotine collected.
