Automated sample preparation, mercury filling and analysis

The Pascal 140 has a dual role: it prepares the sample and the dilatometer for the analysis and carries out low-pressure porosimetry measurements. Both operations are done automatically thus freeing the operator for other tasks. Thanks to its modular concept, it can be used alone or together with the other porosimeters. As the sample preparation and low-pressure analysis are done, the dilatometer can be placed in one of the high-pressure porosimeters (Pascal 240 or 440) for the determination of the mesoporosity. The results of porosity detected at low and high pressure are then combined in a single distribution spectrum by the dedicated software.
