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. Test method include: Gas-Liquid Replacement Method, Liquid-Liquid Replacement Method.
6. Real-time graphic display
7. Fully automated and computer controlled

Principle

• Base on Capillary Flow method: ASTM F316-03
• 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/liquid 2 is allowed to displace liquid 1 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)
