BET surface area and related techniques including advanced micropore analysis

BET surface area analysis 

This service offers surface area determination for powdered nanoparticle and microparticle samples.

A wide variety of adsorption and desorption related parameters can be provided, including:

  • Adsorption and Desorption isotherms
  • Single and Multipoint BET surface area
  • Langmuir surface area
  • Mesopore volume and area distribution
  • Total pore volume
  • Average pore size
  • Sample density
  • Micropore surface area and distribution

Using these and other analysis methods NPL can provide a comprehensive physical description of the active surface area and porosity of a powdered material.

These can be collated for the customer in a short report giving a detailed profile of the powder supplied.
