  Mercury Porosimetry
  Mercury   
  porosimetry   
  provides   
  a   
  wealth   
  of   
  information   
  for   
  the 
  understanding  
  of  
  any  
  porous  
  material  
  within  
  the  
  0.003  
  -  
  ~600  
  micron 
  pore   
  size   
  range   
  (the   
  upper   
  limit   
  depends   
  on   
  the   
  nature   
  of   
  the 
  material).  
  The  
  technique  
  is  
  applicable  
  to  
  almost  
  any  
  solid  
  form;  
  we 
  have  
  decades  
  of  
  experience  
  in  
  studying  
  solids,  
  granules,  
  powders, 
  fibers  
  and  
  papers  
  of  
  a  
  huge  
  range  
  of  
  materials  
  from  
  many  
  industries.  
   
  Pore  
  size,  
  pore  
  volume  
  and  
  pore  
  area  
  often  
  critically  
  influence  
  the 
  performance,  
  efficiency  
  and  
  functionality  
  of  
  a  
  material,  
  for  
  example  
  in 
  fields  
  of  
  catalysts,  
  pharmaceuticals,  
  battery  
  materials  
  and  
  electrodes, 
  geological   
  specimens   
  etc.   
  Knowledge   
  of   
  porous   
  characteristics   
  is 
  therefore  
  imperative  
  to  
  the  
  full  
  understanding  
  of  
  the  
  material  
  and  
  its 
  function.  
  Key Information:
  •
  Pore size, volume and area distributions
  •
  Covers the pore size range of ~600 microns to 0.003 microns
  •
  Application to almost any solid material
  •
  Pore volume and pore area values
  •
  Average pore size by three calculations
  •
  Additional calculation of bulk and skeletal density
  •
  Additional calculation of volume porosity 
  •
  Powerful and comprehensive reporting options and formats
  •
  Extension to measure permeability, tortuosity and 
  compressibility
  Mercury   
  porosimetry   
  is   
  an   
  exceptionally   
  powerful   
  technique   
  for 
  studying  
  materials  
  with  
  meso-  
  and  
  macro-  
  porosity.  
  Using  
  the  
  latest 
  Micromeritics    
  AutoPore    
  V    
  instrument    
  we    
  are    
  able    
  to    
  offer    
  a 
  comprehensive  
  list  
  of  
  flexible  
  analytical  
  options.  
  Combined  
  with  
  our 
  decades  
  of  
  experience,  
  we  
  are  
  able  
  to  
  recommend  
  and  
  tailor  
  analyses 
  to  
  suit  
  your  
  materials  
  and  
  their  
  function  
  as  
  well  
  as  
  provide  
  input  
  to 
  data   
  interpretation   
  so   
  that   
  you   
  gain   
  the   
  most   
  information.   
  More 
  information and a demonstration is given on our 
  YouTube
   channel.

  For  
  materials  
  of  
  smaller  
  pore  
  sizes  
  our  
  gas  
  adsorption  
  options  
  are 
  applicable.   
  Alternatively,   
  the   
  two   
  techniques   
  may   
  be   
  combined   
  to 
  provide  
  a  
  pore  
  size  
  distribution  
  throughout  
  the  
  range  
  of  
  pore  
  sizes.  
    
  
  In  
  addition  
  to  
  our  
  standard  
  reports,  
  we  
  can  
  generate  
  more  
  specialised 
  reports  
  pertinent  
  to  
  porosimetry  
  analysis.  
  For  
  convenience  
  the  
  units 
  of  
  pore  
  size  
  and  
  pore  
  volume  
  can  
  be  
  changed  
  to  
  include  
  nm  
  and 
  Angstroms  
  as  
  required.  
  A  
  standard  
  set  
  of  
  specimen  
  data  
  is  
  available 
  on request in PDF format.
