CAPILLARY FLOW POROMETRY THROUGH-PORE SIZE DISTRIBUTION
Capillary Flow Porometry (CFP) — also known as Gas Liquid Porometry (GLP) — is a fast, reliable method to determine the size and relative abundance of through pores in sheets and membranes. This pressure-based technique measures the minimum diameter of a pore, averaging over a significant test area, without the need for model-fitting or image processing. Measurements are fast, sample preparation takes less than 30 seconds, and no mercury is involved.
The Most Accurate Bubble Point
SmartFlow also enables direct measurement of true bubble point through a proprietary flowcontrolled method that provides unmatched accuracy and repeatability. Conventional estimates of bubble point from pressure ramps lack sensitivity and can underestimate the largest pore diameter. SmartFlow ensures precise bubble point measurements, typically much better than ±1%.
- Flexible easy-to-use sample chamber
for simple sample loading including samplesfrom 13 mm to 47 mm diameter. - Intuitive Breeze Interface
makes it easy to measure samples and review results with or without a PC. - Convenient USB
access for data transfer or peripheral
device integration. Even more ports at the back of the instrument. - High-speed control, collection, and data processing
provides the most accurate pressure control, highest curve resolution, and most detailed pore size distribution by processing measurements at up to 20 Hz. - MIC Net
empowers your lab to operate as one by synchronizing results and methods across AccuPore instruments. Laboratory network connection provides simple data retrieval and LIMS integration. - Auto-switching gas supply
reduces cost of operation by using low pressure compressed air when suitable, allowing high pressure bottled gas tanks to last longer.
