PMI Advanced Filter Analyzer

Overview

The PMI Advanced Filter Analyzer is designed for Quality Control (QC) and R&D applications across a wide range of industries including woven and nonwoven materials, filter media, polymeric membranes, electro-spun membranes, automotive filters, battery separators, electrodes, ceramics, geotextiles and paper.

The instrument measures the diameter of the most constricted portion of a through-pore (pore throat) and provides comprehensive pore structure characterization, including largest pore diameter (bubble point), mean flow pore diameter, pore size range, pore size distribution, and permeability.

  • Windows-based software handles all control, measurement, data collection, and report generation; complete manual control also possible.
  • Compatible with Windows XP or higher.
  • Real-time graphical test display depicts testing status and results throughout operation.
  • Non-destructive testing.
  • Length of test approximately 10 minute per sample.
  • Accepts complete filter cartridges of various geometries.
  • Transparent sample chamber for visual confirmation.
  • Minimal maintenance required.
