Pascal 440 Porosimeter

Thermo Scientific* Pascal 440 is the high pressure model of the Pascal mercury porosimeter line working up to 400MPa starting from atmospheric pressure. Pascal 440 can measure pores ranging from 0.0036++ up to 15++ pore dimension.
The Pascal 440 is developed to meet the sophisticated analytical requirements of laboratories working with new materials in many application fields like, for instance, ceramics, sintered metals, hardened materials and, in general, for all the solids showing porosity approaching the micropore region. Thanks to its unique pressurization speed (the maximum pressure can be reached in as little as 9 minutes!) it is highly recommended also for QC labs where short run times and productivity are priority.
Alert: The Pascal 440 uses mercury as intrusion liquid. Mercury is not supplied by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Mercury is a hazardous material thus should be handled with the same care that any other hazardous laboratory chemical is given. It is strongly recommended to check and conform to specific regulations and recommendations for the use of mercury for each country.

The Pascal 440 incorporates the P.A.S.C.A.L.  method for pressurization that allows the fastest speed of analysis combined with highest accuracy. The pressurization system exploits a specifically designed reversible pump and a new type of pressure multiplier featuring unmatched small dimension. This combination and the P.A.S.C.A.L. approach provide high precision experiments assuring that the pressure data (from which the pore size is calculated) are perfectly equilibrated with the intruded mercury amount (from which the pore volume is measured). The P.A.S.C.A.L. approach is fully automated thus no prior knowledge of the material is required.

  • P.A.S.C.A.L. method of pressurization (Pressurization by Automatic Speedup and Continuous Adjustment Logic) combines the stepwise and intrusion rate equilibrated mode
  • Our proprietary algorithm cuts off dead times during the analysis improving the experiments throughput (saves run time compared to other methods). Can work also in continuous scanning mode
  • Extreme high resolution curves with up to 2500 experimental points in each pressure range (up to 4000 points for a complete porosity spectrum) showing a volume resolution of 0.1μL
  • Pascal porosimeters are modular, choice of pressure ranges up to 0.4, 200 and 400MPa (or a combination of them)
  • Pascal porosimeters modules are bench top, with unmatched small footprint
  • Pascal come with comprehensive online control software featuring real time display of intruded volume and/or pressure in function of time
  • Data versus time can be exported in a text file for further reprocessing (i.e. kinetic studies)
  • Includes data reduction with real blank correction, compressibility correction, pore and particle size determination (Mayer-Stowe), span evaluation, fractal dimension, tortuosity, permeability and frost resistance factors, graph overlay and comparative results tables among several experiments
  • Easy and customizable reporting and full data export compatible with most common spreadsheets
Includes:
  • Two sample holders
  • Absolute pressure sensor
  • Dielectric oil for high pressure
  • Control and data reprocessing software
  • Instruction manuals

Required Accessories: The Pascal 440 requires a sample preparation unit to degas the sample before the analysis and to fill the dilatometer with fresh mercury. The dilatometer preparation unit can be the Pascal 140 or a Duplex Dilatometer filling device.

Compatible with:
  • Pascal 140 low pressure module (to extend also the porosity range investigation) or Duplex Dilatometers Filling device
  • Mercury cleaning kit permits to clean and re-use mercury for a long time reducing costs associated to recycling
  • Calibration kit and certified reference materials to control the instrument accuracy and re-calibration

Compliance: ISO15901-1

Certifications: CE certification, PED (Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/CE)
