Surface Area and Porosimetry Measurements (BET)

  Micromeritics ASAP 2020

  • Measures surface area and pore size of powders using single or multi-point BET and DFT analysis.
  • Full BHJ adsorption/desorption isothermal plots measured from <0.01 to 0.99(P/Po).
  • N2 (other gasses as needed) gas BET surface area, T-plot micropore area, BJH surface pore area, single point total pore volume, and T-plot micropore volume.
