Porometer
Porolux Revo
Porous Materials Analyser
- Gas-liquid technology with patent pending MP2 technology
- The most accurate pore size results combined with high resolution
- For pore sizes down to 13nm
Key Features
Patent pending MP² technology
MP² stands for Multistage Pressure Process. This innovative technology ensures a smooth pressure increase during the measurement and speeds up the process of reaching flow and pressure stability.
This advanced pressure built-up process makes it possible to do the measurements with smaller, and perfectly uniform pressure steps, leading to the most accurate and reproducible pore size results. Additionally, the technology makes it possible to record more data points in the pore opening region, resulting in more detailed pore size distribution curves.
Step stability method
The POROLUX™ Revo detects the opening of a pore at a certain pressure and waits until all pores of the same diameter are completely opened before accepting the data point. This method results in a very accurate pore size measurement and allows to calculate the true pore size distribution.
Additionally, the instrument can determine the bubble point in three different ways (largest pore according to ASTM F-316-03), a very unique feature in the market of porometry.
Next to that, results on mean flow pore size, smallest pore, pore size distribution, cumulative flow distribution & gas permeability are reported. With our enhanced mathematical model, we can also obtain additional results such as total pore number and total pore area.
Very intuitive and easy to use software
Not only is the fully integrated software powerful and comprehensive, it is also very intuitive and easy to use.
By allowing to change many parameters with a click of the mouse, the software enables its many users to tune the measurement to their exact needs. Additionally, the software, with built-in intelligence, gives the user access to many advanced functions, such as the re-evaluation function and the observation window.
Last but not least, the POROLUX™ Revo software comes with a very advanced curve smoothing and fitting function.
Straightforward and presentable output
With one click of the button, results are exported in word, excel or pdf. The Porometer software makes it very easy to present multiple measurements next to each other, allowing for a straightforward comparison between different filter media.
Thanks to the adjustable scales, graphs such as wet and dry curve and pore size distribution are presented in a very clear and sophisticated manner.

(*) BP dPL is the bubble point measured as a deviation from the linearity of a user-defined pressure increase. BP x-ml is the bubble point measured at a user-defined flow rate. BP pCF is the bubble point measured as a user-defined percentage of the cumulative flow.
Accessories
Universal sample holder 3 in 1
Sample holder 3 diameters in 1 (13, 25 and 47 mm).
Hollow fibre sample holder
Specially designed sample holder for hollow fibres, including 5 sealant rings.
Sample holder of 25 mm diameter for thicker samples
External sample holder for samples of thickness up to 10 mm.
Customer specific solutions
Porometer can also create customer specific sample holders to meet special requirements, such as measuring thick samples, samples with larger diameters, working with assembled filter setups, etc.
Advanced liquid permeability
The liquid permeability extension performs a fully automatic measurement of the flow of liquid through a membrane or filter at a predefined pressure. The liquid is then collected in a receptacle and the weight data – which is recorded by the balance – is automatically transferred to the operating software, which calculates the liquid permeability.
This method is user friendly, very accurate and is strongly recommended when a lot of liquid permeability measurements are envisaged. The advanced liquid permeability extension consists of a hardware extension – including the liquid tank, an external sample holder, a balance and all tubing and connections, as well as a software extension.

Good service, very helpful
We use Meritics for the PM service and installation of all our FlowCams . Megan has been coming to our site for a number of years. She is very efficient in her work, but most of all Megan is very helpful. We have had issues with one of instruments after the install and Megan did her utmost to try and solve it while on site, even though it wasn’t solved Megan has been in contact with the supplier of the instrument to try and solve this problem for us.

Good Service
David, our service engineer as usual was good at communicating and setting up the recent service appointment, he arrived on time, did the service promptly and informed me of any problems. Friendly and helpful

Superb and prompt service
I have used this company through the laboratory I work for frequently. We specialise in soil analysis, and Meritics were chosen as they have extensive knowledge of the instruments we use. We have several laser particle diffraction analysers with a service contract, and service is always very prompt and meticulous….

Good experience over two years
Meritics have covered the annual servicing of our Multisizer 4e instrument since we purchased it from them just over two years ago. The application scientist who performed the servicing was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful, happily answering a barrage of questions about how best to use and maintain the instrument. All my interactions with Meritics staff have been positive. I would happily recommend them.

Fully committed to customer service
Service second to none, both units serviced and all questions answers by engineer while on site.

Highly recommend Meritics for equipment purchases and aftercare services
After owning one of our instruments for over 8 Years which was purchased from Meritics, it suffered its first breakdown. Upon contacting Meritics, I was instantly put through to an engineer who was very helpful. Upon inspection of the manual, it was decided that it would be more cost effective to have a Meritics engineer visit. The Meritics staff were very communicative and kept me up to date.
Excellent Service
Lovely, friendly and extremely helpful. David and his team are always on call with advise and are very easy to work with and are always happy to help.

Professional, Customer-oriented, fast service
We had issues with one of the aperture tubes provided by Meritics on a Friday afternoon, while very pressed for a review deadline. Meritics handled our inquiries very fast and professionally and helped us out by shipping us their spare tube to use in the mean time free of charge, while we waited for our new tube to arrive. Communication was very pleasant.

Very helpful and prompt
I emailed for some technical help and also to get some spares and both the engineer (David) and purchasing (Sophie) were very prompt to respond and helpful. We do have a service contract but I appreciated being able to email the engineer directly.
