Filtration Media Analyzer

The PMI Filtration Media Analyzer is designed to meet the through-pore measurement needs of the filtration industry. The Filtration Media Analyzer provides fully-automated analysis of bubble point, pore size distribution, mean pore size, gas, liquid, and Frazier permeability, filter integrity and hydro-head. Testing under compression, tension, and elevated temperature is also possible, thereby allowing the user to simulate actual operating conditions.

Overview

The PMI Filtration Media Analyzer is designed to meet the through-pore measurement needs of the filtration industry. The Filtration Media Analyzer provides fully-automated analysis of bubble point, pore size distribution, mean pore size, gas, liquid, and Frazier permeability, filter integrity and hydro-head. Testing under compression, tension, and elevated temperature is also possible, thereby allowing the user to simulate actual operating conditions.

- Optional testing of sample under tension, compression, or elevated temperature to simulate actual operating conditions - Optional gas permeability testing of nearly impermeable samples (microflow permeability) - Windows-based software handles all control, measurement, data collection, and report generation; manual control also possible - Compatible with Windows 95 or higher - Real-time graphical test display depicts testing status and results throughout operation - Nondestructive testing - Length of test less than 30 minutes - Wide range of acceptable sample sizes and types - Transparent sample chamber optional for visual confirmation - Minimal maintenance required
