Method of Standard Porosimetry and the
Automated Standard Porosimeter.


How it works

The amount of liquid in the samples is determined by weighing. As a working liquid, which completely wets practically all materials, hydrocarbons such as: octane, decane, etc. are usually used. Thus the assumption of equal wetting angle is fulfilled. In some cases other liquids are used, e.g. water for investigation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic pores.
