There is a well-known relationship that describes the pressure required to force liquid mercury into pores of specific diameter called the Washburn Equation: Measuring the volume of mercury that is intruded into a sample as a function of increasing pressure permits the generation of pore size and pore volume distributions for pores accessible from a material's exterior. Using instruments capable of measurements at pressures between 0.2 and 60,000 psi, like the POREMASTER) 2h Series, pores between 3.6 nanometers and 1100 microns may be measured. Operation A sample is placed into a measuring assembly comprising of an empty glass sample cell, an electrode, and housing for installation into the POREMASTER !e? Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry D = - 4 @e?s` ( cos!gW? ) P Where: P = Applied Pressure D = Diameter of the Pore @e?s` = Contact Angle Between Liquid Mercury and the Pore Wall ? = Surface Tension of Mercury Pressure Volume Pressure Volume Pressure Volume As pressure increases smaller and smaller pores will accept liquid mercury. The resulting volume change along the stem of the measuring assembly can the be plotted as a function of pressure. POREMASTER ) 2h automated mercury porosimeters 3 Figure 3. Pore Size Distribution Figure 2. Cumulative Intruded Volume vs. Pore Diameter Software Control of porosity in terms of pore volume, size, and their distribution is important for hundreds of industries, products, and processes. The POREMASTER ) 2h Series of mercury intrusion porosimeters comes equipped with user-friendly PoroWin software for instrument control, data acquisition, and data interpretation. Using the Washburn equation, this data set can be converted into a cumulative curve of the amount intruded as a function of pore size. The derivative of this curve provides a pore size distribution of the pores accessible via the exterior of the material.

Quantachrome mercury porosimeters have served quality control and research needs for characterization of materials in a wide variety of industries. The widespread appeal of this technology is due mostly to the speed and high resolution of the measurement for the very broad range of pore sizes that may be explored. Battery Components The capacity of electrolyte and transfer properties throughout batteries is described by the porosity of their components. Bone and Dental Studies Porosity is important for promoting bone and tooth growth and decay. Catalysts The transport of reactants to and products from active catalyst sites occurs through pores. See ASTM Methods D4282-12 and D 6761- 07"%?B 2 012@??P . Ceramics and Refractories Structural properties and curing proA0pVles are optimized through the control of pore size and pore volume. Filtration Media Mechanical properties such as capacity, strength reliability are functions of pore volume distribution. Medical Devices Pore structure is important to ensure desired isolation and/or growth rates into biocompatible components. Papers and Pigments The pore structure of coated papers has a major impact on their surface appearance and print-ability. Pharmaceuticals Tablet mechanical and dissolution properties are controlled via their pore size and pore volume. Polymers Measure the size and volume of porous polymers and to detect structural changes arising from high intrusion pressures. Soils and Rocks The porosity of soils and rocks assist in understanding of gaseous and liquiagow and capacity.
