Can any one help me to the Procedure for Integrity checking of Ceramic membrane filter?
I think your question needs some additional information about what you are doing and looking for.
Are you looking for cracks in ceramic filters, so mechanical integrity or do you need to know the filtering performance? Porosity? Pore size distribution?
Are you using the filters for liquids of gasses.
Please, provide more background information
You can use the bubble point technique.
In this case you infiltrate the membrane with a liquid and then apply a pressure to one side. As you increase the pressure, you will notice at one point that you measure a gas flow through the membrane. This point is the so-called bubble point and from the pressure and the surface tension of the liquid you can then determine the maximum through-pore in your sample. If that pore size is close to where you expect the pore size of your membrane, then everything should be OK, but if the pore size indicates a much larger size than what you expect, then this is an indication for a defect or other "problem" with your membrane.
