General
AutoPore V
The mercury porosimetry analysis technique is based on the intrusion of mercury into a porous structure under stringently controlled pressures. Besides offering speed, accuracy, and a wide measurement range, mercury porosimetry permits you to calculate numerous sample properties such as pore size distributions, total pore volume, total pore surface area, median pore diameter and sample densities (bulk and skeletal).
The AutoPore V Series Mercury Porosimeters can determine a broader pore size distribution more quickly and accurately than other methods. This instrument also features enhanced safety features and offers new data reduction and reporting choices that provide more information about pore geometry and the fluid transport characteristics of your material.
Features
Operational Advantages
- Ability to measure pore diameters from 0.003 to 1100 µm*
- Controlled pressure can increase in increments as fine as 0.05 psi from 0.2 to 50 psia. This allows detailed data to be collected in the macropore region
- High-resolution (sub-microliter) measurement of intrusion/extrusion volumes produces extraordinary precision allowing the Development of tighter sample specifications, improved production processes, and high-quality research data
- Operates in scanning and time- or rate-of-intrusion equilibrated modes
- Real-time diagnostics provide knowledge of an issue before it becomes critical or impairs your analytical results
- Collects extremely high-resolution data; better than 0.1 µL for mercury intrusion and extrusion volume
- Improved linear motion for high-pressure chamber closure
