Mercury porosimeter
Model: Autopore V 1086 Micromeritics
Properties: Allows the characterization of the porous structure of solid materials through the technique of mercury intrusion and extrusion at controlled pressures. This method enables the calculation of the volumes of macropores and mesoporos, as well as the precise determination of the pore size distribution.
Analysis Ranges:
| Analysis | Pressure Range | Pore Diameter Range (Ø) |
|---|---|---|
| Low Pressure | 0.2 a 50 psia | 500 a 3.6 μm |
| High Pressure | Atmosphere to 60,000 psia | 6 a 0.003 μm (3 nm) |
Samples: solid / powder
Sample size: 200 mg
