Porometers

Porous Materials Inc Products - Porometers


Automatic Capillary Flow Porometer Suitable for the measuring and analysis of pore structures of porous materials such as membrane, paper, non-woven, fabric,cartridge,nanofiber(electrospinning fiber), hollow fiber, PTFE…, asthrough poreconstrict pore(include largest pore size, bubble point, pore size distribution), liquid permeability, gas permeability and pore surface area。



Feature

  1. Testing of small samples as well as complete parts
  2. Many sample geometry (Ex: sheets, rods, tubes, hollow fibers, cartridges, and powders)
  3. Use of many wetting liquids (Ex: water, alcohol, Silwick, and Galwick)
  4. Tests in QC, research, or any number of user defined modes
  5. See-through sample chamber available for visual observation
  6. Real-time graphic display
  7. Fully automated and computer controlled

Principle

  • Base on Capillary Flow method: ASTM F316-03, F778, D6767-02, BS 3321-1986, 6410
  • Where a non toxic wetting liquid is allowed to spontaneously fill the pores in the sample.
  • place the sample into chamber and a non reacting gas is allowed to displace liquid from pores.
  • As the pressure is increased, more and more smaller pores are progressively emptied. The pressure and flow rate of gas through the emptied pores provides the through pore distribution.
  • The pressure at which through pores empty is inversely proportional to the pore size (according to the Washburm calculation equation).

Function

  • Mean Pore Size
  • Pore Size Distribution
  • Pore Flow % Distribution
  • Pore Number Distribution
  • Bubble Point (the largest through pore throat diameter)
  • Bubble Point Mean flow pore diameter (50% of flow is through pores smaller than the mean flow pore)
  • Pore Surface Area
  • Gas Permeability in many desired units including Frazier, Gurley, Rayl & Darcy
  • Liquid Permeability
  • Diameter of the most constricted part of a through pore (Pore throat)

Model
  • CFP serial:( Different models are available to meet various test pressures and pore size analysis requirements)
  • CFP-1005A、CFP-1020A、CFP-1100A、CFP-1200A、CFP-1500A...
Maximum pore size
  • 500 μm
Minimum pore size
  • 0.06μm (Under 100 psi pressure))
  • 0.03μm (Under 200 psi pressure)
  • 0.013μm (Under 500 psi pressure)
Flow Control system
  • Use Motorized valve which the material is stainless steel and for high pressure using.
