CRO Porosity and Particle Sizing Equipment
The Analysis Research Service Center (ARSC) spans multiple locations in the Roy F. Mitte (RFM) and Jerome C. Supple (SUPP) buildings and hosts equipment utilized to probe the structure, composition, and electrical/magnetic properties of matter. Porosity and particle sizing equipment can yield information about particle size distributions, permeability and fluid retention which can assist in a range of fields including hydrology, geology, biochar applications, materials science, soil science, and pharmacology to name a few.

Mercury Intrusion Porosimeter
Mercury Intrusion Porosimeter (MIP) is a powerful technique utilized for the characterization of pore size distribution, pore volume and porosity of a variety of solid and powder materials. Samples analyzed by this technique are placed in a sample cell with liquid mercury surrounding the sample. Force is applied to intrude the mercury into any voids or pores within the sample bed. Larger voids and pores will fill first, at lower pressure. As the pressure behind the mercury increases, smaller and smaller pores will begin to fill.
