The next step in characterization

The BELPORE mercury porosimeters precisely and quickly detect all ccessible pores

in the size range from 1 millimeter to 3.6 nanometers with tepwise equilibrium-controlled pressure increase

from a vacuum up to 414 MPa.

Accurate determination of the pore size distribution

The BELPORE mercury porosimeters from Microtrac MRB reliably and reproducibly masure pore diameters

from 1 millimeter to 3.6 nanometers at 414 mega-Pascals.

“Pascal” is not only a pressure unit, but also stands for the equilibrium-controlled and optimized handling

of the pressure build-up through the so-called “Pressurization by Automatic Speedup and Continuous Adjustment

Logic”, or P.A.S.C.A.L. for short.

This automatic control is regulated by the real pore system and permits shorter measuring times under guaranteed

equilibrium conditions as well as the detection of all pores within the specification – and this with up to 20,000

measuring points per analysis.

Since only three types of dilatometers are sufficient for all measurement tasks and neither gases nor liquid nitrogen

are required, running costs can be kept significantly low.

In addition, the BELPORE LP low-pressure porosimeter is easy to use and has an extended measuring range up to

pore sizes of 1 mm. The vertical degassing and filling with mercury on the BELPORE LP allows the degassing

pressure to be adjusted, making it possible to measure moist samples without changing the moisture content of

the material.

In this way, even moist concrete samples and solvent-containing porous green bodies can be measured unaltered.

The mercury porosimeters from Microtrac MRB are available for different pore ranges:
*BELPORE LP (1,000 - 3.25 μm)
*BELPORE MP (15 - 0.0065 μm)
*BELPORE HP (15 - 0.0036 μm)
