The system is another product in cooperation with Porometer N.V. The system is ideal for measuring the pore sizes of ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes (or other porous materials). The system can measure pores in the range of 1-50 nanometer.
The permporometer porometer measures the pore size distribution of materials using the ‘Kelvin equation’. The Kelvin equation describes the change in vapor pressure due to a curved liquid–vapor interface (pore). The Kelvin equation is dependent upon thermodynamic principles and does not allude to special properties of materials.
POROPERM™ is a permporometer for the measurements of pore sizes in the range between 1 nm and 50 nm at low pressures. It is based on the controlled stepwise evaporation of the liquid blocking the pores (condensable gas) and the simultaneous measurement of the flow rate of an inert gas through the sample, at a constant temperature.
