Porosemetry & pore space determination

Porosity is an important parameter for the storage capacity or filter properties of a material. This includes materials such as ceramics, plastics, metallic and other foamed materials, building materials or even natural rocks, which are used as gas reservoirs, for example.

We offer you various methods for different porosimetry issues:

  • Mercury porosimetry: pore measuring range: 3.6 nm - 116 µm, size distribution of the pore space, density calculations
  • Computed tomography (also nCT): quantitative imaging method in 3D, pore space, pore pathways, partial phase differences
  • Optical pore space determination: quantitative image data evaluation using thin section microscopy
  • Water porosimetry: determination of porosity (%), density calculations

We develop an optimal analysis strategy for you according to your specific problem(s).
