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.
Features
Capability to measure pore diameters from 0.003 to ~1000 µm*
Available with two low and one high-pressure ports or four low and two high-pressure ports for increased sample throughput
Available in 33,000 psi or 60,000 psi models
Low noise, high-pressure generating system
Enhanced 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
| * NOTE: The maximum pore size that any mercury porosimeter can characterize depends on a number of factors. The primary limiting factors are 1) the contact angel between mercury and the sample material, and 2) the head pressure gradient associated with a volume of mercury and the volume of sample material subjected to these pressures.

A Note About 32- and 64-Bit Windows and Micromeritics' Software
Micromeritics Windows based software is currently compatible with the 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows operating systems. However, the 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems are not compatible with Micromeritics Windows based software. To avoid incompatibility issues Micromeritics Windows based software should be executed only within the 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Since the 1960's Micromeritics has been modifying standard products and accessories to accommodate special needs. We have now expanded this service to include custom-designed analyzers and accessories. Custom-Engineered Products |
