Description

Class Leading, Proven Performance

Leading the class with proven performance, mercury porosimetry analysis relies on the intrusion of mercury into a porous structure under tightly controlled pressures. Beyond delivering speed, precision, and an extensive measurement range, this technique enables the calculation of various sample properties, including pore size distributions, total pore volume, total pore surface area, median pore diameter, and sample densities (both bulk and skeletal).

The AutoPore V Series Mercury Porosimeters can assess a wider pore size distribution more quickly and accurately than alternative techniques. Along with improved safety features, this instrument offers new options for data reduction and reporting that offer more information regarding the material’s fluid transport properties and pore shape.

Features and Benefits

  • Facilitates rapid and detailed intrusion and extrusion analyses across a diverse range of pore sizes
  • Innovative safety enhancements that set a new standard in operator safety 
  • Nineteen standard penetrometer sizes and configurations that cater to the analysis of various sample sizes and shapes
  • Has user-defined advanced reporting capabilities through python scripts
  • Operates in scanning and equilibration modes, allowing for either rapid or more detailed analyses, respectively 
  • MicroActive software enables swift adjustment of reporting ranges

Technology

Operational Advantages

  • Can measure pore diameters within the range of 0.003 to 1100 µm, with calculations based on an initial filling pressure of 0.2 psia (0.00128 MPa).
  • The controlled pressure can incrementally rise in precise 0.05 psia increments, ranging from 0.2 to 50 psia, enabling the collection of detailed data in the macropore region.
  • The high-resolution measurement of intrusion/extrusion volumes at a sub-microliter level provides exceptional precision, facilitating the establishment of more stringent sample specifications, enhancing production processes, and generating high-quality research data.
  • Functions in scanning and time- or rate-of-intrusion modes. 
  • Real-time diagnostics offer insights into a problem before it reaches a critical stage or negatively affects your analytical outcomes.
  • Gathers data at an exceptionally high resolution, surpassing 0.1 µL for both mercury intrusion and extrusion volumes.
  • Enhanced linear motion for sealing high-pressure chambers.

Design Advantages

  • Enhanced safety features minimize the potential for mercury spills and operator exposure.
  • Equipped with four ports for low pressure and two ports for high pressure, enhancing sample throughput.
  • Available in models with pressures of 33,000 psia or 60,000 psia.
  • Users can opt for automatic, differential, or manual baseline correction routines to enhance accuracy by compensating for compressibility and thermal effects caused by high pressure.
  • A quick-scan mode facilitates a continuous pressure increase approximating equilibrium, ensuring faster screening.
  • This system features a low-noise, high-pressure generation mechanism.
  • An integrated temperature sensor enables the automatic calculation of mercury density used for penetrometer calibrations.
  • The system offers a choice of pressure ramping methods, allowing users to select scanning mode for high-speed or on-demand results, or equilibration mode for more precise results with greater detail.
  • The system also compensates for material compression during high-pressure analysis.
  • The MicroActive software allows users to manipulate data, define custom reports, and attain analytical results rapidly.

Applications

Pharmaceuticals

Porosity and surface area are pivotal factors in the purification, processing, blending, tableting, and packaging of pharmaceutical products. They also impact a drug’s shelf life, dissolution rate, and bioavailability.

Ceramics

Pore area and porosity are influential in the curing and bonding of greenware, affecting the strength, texture, appearance, and density of finished ceramic goods.

Adsorbents

Understanding pore area, total pore volume, and pore size distribution is crucial for the quality control of industrial adsorbents and in the development of separation processes. Porosity and surface area characteristics determine the selectivity of an adsorbent.

Catalyst

The active surface area and pore structure of catalysts affect production rates. By limiting pore size, a catalyst can selectively allow only molecules of desired sizes to enter and exit, resulting in the production of the desired product.

Aerospace

Surface area and porosity in heat shields and insulating materials impact weight and functionality.

Fuel Cells

Fuel cell electrodes require controlled porosity with a high surface area to achieve adequate power density.

Geoscience

Porosity is a crucial factor in groundwater hydrology and petroleum exploration, as it relates to the quantity of fluid a structure can contain and the effort required to extract it.

Filtration

Pore size, pore volume, pore shape, and pore tortuosity are of interest to filter manufacturers. Pore shape often has a more direct effect on filtration than pore size, as it strongly correlates with filtration performance and fouling.

Construction Materials

Diffusion, permeability, and capillary flow are essential in understanding the degradation processes in concrete, cement, and other construction materials.

Paper

The porosity of print media coating is significant in offset printing, impacting blistering, ink receptivity, and ink holdout.

Medical Implants

Surface area and porosity are critical factors in the functionality and weight of medical implants.

Software

Microactive for Autopore

Intelligent, Intuitive, Interactive:

The MicroActive software significantly enhances functionality, convenience, diagnostics, and data interpretation, setting a new benchmark for high-performance results in mercury porosimetry.

Method Wizard

Construct a method through an interactive, step-by-step script, simplifying method creation and introducing new users to the operation of the AutoPore V.

Mercury Density Calculation

In contrast to competitive systems that utilize mercury density only at ambient temperature, the AutoPore V automatically measures the actual mercury temperature for precise density calculations under operational conditions.

User-Defined Reports and Report Options

Effortlessly generate custom advanced reports tailored to your specific requirements using Python scripting. New report options enable automatic report conversion to PDF or spreadsheet formats.

Post-Analysis Parameter Change

Modify or correct analysis parameters (stem volume, maximum head pressure, pen constant) post-analysis, eliminating the need to rerun samples due to errors.

Reverberi Method Data Reduction

Access information on the distribution of pore shape. The method produces a three-dimensional array depicting cavity size and throat size versus volume.

Diagnostic Dashboard

Streamlines penetrometer calibration by automating calculations, either gravimetrically or volumetrically.

Overlay Multiple Runs and Gas Adsorption Data

MicroActive for AutoPore V enables overlaying of up to 25 runs, with the added capability to import pore size distributions from gas adsorption isotherms. This feature allows for the presentation of analysis data, in the the micro- to macropore range, in a single report.

Intelligent Data Reporting

Automated warnings are generated when potentially questionable data is gathered.

Variety of Available Plots
