Abstract
The experimental method employed in mercury porosimetry, discussed more extensively in Chapter 21, involves the evacuation of all gas from the volume containing the sample. Mercury is then transferred into the sample container while under vacuum. Finally, pressure is applied to force mercury into the interparticle voids and intraparticle pores. A means of monitoring both the applied pressure and the intruded volume are integral parts of all mercury porosimeters.
