The Pascal Porosimeters use mercury as intrusion liquid. Mercury is not supplied by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Mercury is a hazardous material thus should be handled with the same care that any other hazardous laboratory chemical is given. It is strongly recommended to check and conform to specific regulations and recommendations for the use of mercury for each country. Manufacturing & Processing Instruments & Equipment Microstructure & Porosimetry Testing P.A.S.C.A.L. method of pressurization (Pressurization by Automatic Speedup and Continuous Adjustment Logic) combines the stepwise and intrusion rate equilibrated modes Proprietary algorithm cuts off dead times during the analysis improving the experiments throughput (saves run time compared to other methods).  Pascal porosimeters can work in continuous scanning mode. Pascal porosimeters provide extremely high resolution curves with up to 2500 experimental points in each pressure range (up to 4000 points for a complete porosity spectrum) showing a volume resolution of 0.1μL.

Pascal porosimeters are modular, with a choice of pressure ranges up to 0.4, 200 and 400MPa (or a combination of them). Pascal porosimeters are bench top, with small footprints. Pascal porosimeters come with comprehensive online control software featuring real-time display of intruded volume and/or pressure in function of time. Data versus time can be exported in a text file for further reprocessing (i.e. kinetic studies). vacuum cleaner for asbestos removalFeatures include data reduction with real blank correction, compressibility correction, pore and particle size determination (Mayer-Stowe), span evaluation, fractal dimension, tortuosity, permeability and frost resistance factors, graph overlay and comparative results tables among several experiments. oreck vacuum cleaner.comEach Pascal unit offers easy and customizable reporting and full data export compatible with most common spreadsheets.philips vacuum cleaner bags ireland

Translate this page: Spanish Micromeritics' AutoPore IV 9500 Series characterizes a material’s porosity by applying various levels of pressure to a sample immersed in mercury. The pressure required to intrude mercury into the sample’s pores is inversely proportional to the size of the pores. This is called mercury porosimetry, or often, “mercury intrusion.” The AutoPore IV series provides high-quality analysis data and comes with enhanced data reduction and reporting packages, faster pressure ramp rates, a more flexible and controllable vacuum system, and a redesign of both the low-and high-pressure generation systems.•  Instrument and/or Accessory Quote     •  U.S.A.

Porosity is especially important in understanding the formation, structure, and potential use of many substances. The porosity of a material affects its physical properties and, subsequently, its behavior in its surrounding environment. The adsorption and permeability, strength, density, and other factors influenced by a substance’s porosity determine the manner and fashion in which it can be appropriately used. The mercury porosimetry analysis technique is based on the intrusion of mercury into a porous structure under stringently controlled pressures. Besides offering speed, accuracy, and a wide measurement range, mercury porosimetry permits you to calculate numerous sample properties such as pore size distributions, total pore volume, total pore surface area, median pore diameter, and sample densities (bulk and skeletal). The AutoPore IV Series Mercury Porosimeters can determine a broader pore size distribution (0.003 to 1100 micrometers*) more quickly and accurately than other methods.

These instruments are enhanced with features that enable them to more accurately gather the data needed to characterize the porous structure of solid materials. They also offer new data reduction and reporting choices that provide more information about pore geometry and the fluid transport characteristics of the material. *Calculated with an initial filling pressure of 0.2psia (0.00128MPa)Wide Variety of Benefits    Advantages:Capability to measure pore diameters from 0.003 to ~1100 µm*Low noise, high-pressure generating systemEnhanced data reduction package; includes tortuosity, permeability, compressibility, pore-throat ratio, fractal dimension, Mayer-Stowe particle size, and more Operates in scanning and time – or rate – equilibrated modes Collects extremely high-resolution data; better than 0.1 µL for mercury intrusion and extrusion volumes Controlled evacuation prevents powder fluctuation Controlled pressure can increase in increments as fine as 0.05 psia from 0.2 to 50 psia.

This allows detailed data to be collected in the macropore region.A quick-scan mode allows a continuous pressure increase approximating equilibrium and providing faster screening. The high repeatability and reproducibility of this method by the AutoPore means that small, but significant, differences between samples will be detected. You can use this technique to screen a sample for conformity to specification because repeatability remains high. High-resolution (sub-microliter) measurement of intrusion/extrusion volumes produces extraordinary precision allowing the development of tighter sample specifications, improved production processes, and high-quality research data. A choice of correction routine for baseline (automatic, differential, or manual) produces greater accuracy by correcting for compressibility and thermal effects caused by high pressure. Choice of pressure ramping methods lets you choose the scanning technique for high-speed or on-demand results, or equilibration techniques for more accurate results with greater detail.

The instrument allows the user to program data collection using a minimum number of data points. However, during intervals of unexpectedly large amounts of intrusion, the AutoPore will automatically collect additional data points. Choose between three data plot routines constructed of collected data points, a continuous curve plotted from interpolated data, or a combination of points and curves. A variety of pore volume, pore area, and pore size plots is available as well as the ability to calculate total intrusion volume, total pore (surface) area, median pore diameter, average pore diameter, bulk density, and apparent (skeletal) density.
