BET Surface Area Analysis

Shiva Analyticals is one of the foremost materials testing labs in India, providing BET Surface Area Analyzer services for industrial and pharmaceutical products.

Our 25 years of experience, highly skilled and trained manpower behind this instrument with more than 20,000 BET Surface Area samples analysis and no conflicts ensure that your samples are in safe hands with repeatable and reproducible results thus helping in the manufacture of the most effective and highest quality products.

The BET Surface Area Analyzer can measure the following parameters from a material:

  • Single - and Multipoint BET (Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller) surface area
  • Langmuir surface area
  • Total pore volume, pore diameter
  • Total micro pore volume and area by the t-Plot method using Halsey, Harkins-Jura, or Carbon Black STSA thickness curves
  • Horvath-Kawazoe for micro pore distribution
  • BJH pore size distribution using adsorption isotherm
  • BJH adsorption and desorption

Major Applications:

Pharmaceuticals – Surface area and porosity play major roles in the purification, processing, blending, tableting, and packaging of pharmaceutical products as well as their useful shelf life, dissolution rate, and bio-availability.

Ceramics – Surface area and porosity affect the curing and bonding of greenware and influence the strength, texture, appearance, and density of finished goods. The surface area of glazes and glass frits affects shrinkage, crazing, and crawling.

Adsorbents – Knowledge of the surface area, total pore volume, and pore size distribution is important for the quality control of industrial adsorbents and in the development of separation processes. Surface area and porosity characteristics affect the
selectivity of an adsorbent.

Activated Carbons – Surface area and porosity must be optimized within narrow ranges to accomplish gasoline vapor

Other applications include testing in Adhesives, Alloys, Abrasives, Clays, Carbon Black, Catalysts, Cosmetics, Cements, Paints and Coatings, Projectile Propellants, Medical Implants, Aerogels and Fuel Cells.
