Water Intrusion Porosimeter / Aquapore
Aquapore (Water Intrusion Porosimeter) is developed by PMI and can be used to measuring polymer film, small solids and powder samples. The pore structure characteristics, such as the porosity, the pore volume, the pore size distribution, and the pore volume distribution of the through pore and the blind pore. It is a more special and safer application than the current mercury intrusion meter, so it is the
Feature
- Uses no toxic materials like mercury
- Completely automated windows based simple operation
- An order of magnitude lower intrusion pressure compared with mercury intrusion & minimal distortion of pore structure
- Much less expensive instrument compared with mercury intrusion porosimeter pore diameter range from 20 to 0.002 microns
Principle
- Aquapore is a liquid intrusion porosimeter used for hydrophobic pores. Water does not wet hydrophobic pores. Intrusion of water into pores occurs on application of pressure. Measured intrusion volume of water yields pore volume and measured intrusion pressure yields pore diameter.
