Capillary Flow Porometry (Porometry)

Capillary Flow Porometry (also called Porometry) is an optimal technique for characterizing through-pore size and size distribution in wettable materials, such as membranes, filtration media, ceramics, and papers.
Covalent’s Porometry services use a top-of-line porometer from Anton Paar for maximized flexibility, speed, and reproducibility.

Strengths
- Fast time-to-data: rapid pore for through-pores in membranes, filters, and other permeable materials
- Highly reproducible, accurate pore size distribution
Limitations
- Not optimized for nano-scale pore analysis
- Analyzed pores must be open (have direct or indirect access to sample surface)
