Fuel Cell Porometer
The PMI Fuel Cell Porometer provides fully automated through-pore analysis including pore-throat diameter, pore size distribution, mean flow pore diameter, and liquid & gas permeability. The porometer’s versatility allows the user to simulate operating conditions. The instrument has special features to measure the effects of compressive stress on a sample, test temperature, sample orientation, layered structure on pore structure characteristics. User-friendly and nondestructive, the Fuel Cell Porometer is an asset in quality control and R&D environments.
Some of the Unique Measurable Characteristics of this machine are:
- Characteristics measured using gas with 0 to 100 % humidity
- Test temperatures can be 200°C and in special situations 800°C
- Pore size measured in samples under compressive stress of up to 1000 psi
- Pore structure of each layer of a multilayer composite
- Pore diameters down to about 0.013 µm
