Mercury Porosymeter

Description

The mercury porosimetry is a technique that allows the analysis of a set of properties of solid structures by mercury intrusion pressure controlled. It is possible to obtain data on the distribution of pore size, diameter and total pore volume and density of the sample. Common applications are the ceramics and construction materials, catalysts, pharmaceuticals, filtration and adsorbent materials.

• Operation maximum pressure – 33,000 Psia (228 MPa)
• Pore size distribution: 360 – 0.005 µm
• Low pressure – up to 50 psia (345 kPa): 360 – 3.6 µm
• High pressure – up to 33,000 psia (228 MPa): 6 – 0.005 µm

Equipment

Mercury porosymeter - Micromeritics, Autopore, model IV 9500.

Sample

Dry solid samples (powders, blocks, membranes). The materials or block-shaped particles have to be adaptable to container 3 or 5 cc of the penetrometer. Samples can not form amalgams with mercury.

Analysis Request

The analysis request should be filled and signed by the head of the institution that makes the request (Download the application form). Analyses are performed by order of submission of application in laboratory analysis. The results are given within 24 hours. In the case of samples for method development and in the case of large numbers of samples, the response time is agreed with the authority solicitor.

The equipment is operated solely by the technician in charge. If requested by the client it is allowed direct contact with the equipment which provides a brief technical/theoretical accompanied demonstration working practice.

Upon request of an analysis the client should contact the technician directly responsible for the equipment to clarify all issues that involve the analysis.

Delivery and receipt of samples

1 - Samples must be clearly identified, so that during manipulation does not erase the identification, and should be delivered well packaged.

2 - Delivery of results will be made by e-mail in PDF format, to be sent simultaneously to the applicant and responsible. In the case of complaints, they should be made within 15 working days.

3 - The remainder of the samples will be stored in the laboratory for 15 days after completion of the analysis, after which will be eliminated.
