POROLUX 1000

HISTORY

The Porolux 1000 is a joint development of Benelux Scientific, a scientific instruments company based in Belgium and IB-FT, a German engineering company. As a result of many years of experience in sales and support of porometers, Benelux Scientific has a true understanding of what customers expect from a porometer. IB-FT has a solid track record of engineering and manufacturing test equipment for the filter industry. Both partners have joined forces and have developed a high-spec porometer: the Porolux 1000.
