POROLUX™ Revo
Gas-liquid technology with patent pending MP² technology
The most accurate pore size results combined with high resolution
For pore sizes down to 13nm
The POROLUX™ Revo, the successor of the POROLUX™ 1000, is the revolution in porometry. Setting the bar in step stability method with our patent pending MP² (Multistage Pressure Process) technology, the POROLUX™ Revo delivers the most accurate and reproducible pore size measurements, in the highest resolution.
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 & gas permeability are reported. With our enhanced mathematical model, we can also obtain additional results such as total pore number and total pore area.
PoreSmart, synonym for smart porometry software
Not only is our 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 PoreSmart 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.
Furthermore, the two-stage curve fitting implemented in the PoreSmart software helps extract meaningful results from measuring curves by removing the noises and fitting the curve into a mathematical function that matches best the set of experimental data.
Lastly, our porometers are equipped with an onboard ethernet port allowing remote access via the internet for installation, support, and diagnosis.
Straightforward and presentable output
With one click of the button, results are exported in word, excel or pdf. PoreSmart makes it very easy to present multiple measurements next to each other, allowing for a straightforward comparison between different filter media and samples.
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.
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.
The POROLUX™ Revo is the right instrument to characterize a wide range of materials with complex pore structures, such as polymeric membranes (flat sheets and hollow fibers), ceramic membranes, porous metals and nonwovens.
