Micromeritics is an Industry Leader in Particle Science and Particle Technology

Particle size, surface area, pore size, material density, and active surface area are characteristics that are crucial to the understanding of a variety of materials. This knowledge is essential in the development of products, the efficient utilization of raw materials, and the understanding of many natural phenomena. Pharmacology, cosmetics, nanotechnology, paints, pigments, food science, ceramics, textiles, geological science, and polymer science are some of the areas of science and technology that rely on Micromeritics' instruments to determine the physical characteristics of powders and solid materials.

Micromeritics provides a complete line of scientific instruments and laboratory equipment targeted exclusively for areas of application and research involving particle science and particle technology, including the expanding area of nanoscience. Particle size analyzers employ laser diffraction, sedimentation, and electrozone sensing. Physical adsorption and mercury porosimetry instruments determine surface area and porosity. Material density can be determined by gas pycnometry and solids displacement. Chemical adsorption techniques are used to determine the active area of catalysts, metal dispersion, and surface energy. Temperature-programmed chemisorption (TPD, TPR, TPO) techniques are utilized in the chemisorption product line.

Micromeritics Instrument Corporation has an auxiliary selection of OEM laboratory instruments to complement its line of particle characterization products. These products are sold under the umbrella brand, Particulate Systems. Micromeritics is dedicated to advancing the science of particle characterization by identifying and soliciting new innovative instruments for the Particulate Systems brand.

FEATURED PRESS RELEASE:

Free Physical Adsorption Interactive Software Tool - 7/01/2009

Micromeritics Instrument Corporation has released a free, interactive software tool for extracting information from a physical adsorption isotherm. The software, called Physi ViewCalc reads the isotherm data from a Microsoft Excel spread sheet, performs data analysis, and reports the results in a user-specified format.

AutoPore IV Series Porosimeters

Micromeritics' AutoPore IV 9500 Series characterizes a material’s porosity by applying various levels of pressure to a sample immersed in mercury. The pressure required to intrude mercury into the sample’s pores is inversely proportional to the size of the pores. This is called  mercury porosimetry, or often, “mercury intrusion.”

The AutoPore IV series provides high-quality analysis data and comes with enhanced data reduction and reporting packages, faster pressure ramp rates, a more flexible and controllable vacuum system, and a redesign of both the low-and high-pressure generation systems.
