basically I had some hydrochloric acid in a flask and the rubber stopper dissolved somewhat and dropped off in to it. Im just wondering if the hydrochloric acid will dissolve the paper filter?

Can I run a glass microfiber filter if this is the case?

Basically, for reasonably dilute solutions of HCl, you can use paper or glass microfiber filters.  The real answer to your question depends on:  what concentration are you working with, and what are you trying to do.

37% HCL. I just need to filter out the rubber particulate.

Are the glass microfiber purely glass or interwoven in to paper?

The concern I am having here is that HCL dissolves cellulose to hydrocellulose doesnt it? So wouldnt that render paper filters impractical for filtering acids?

Why do you want to do it?
