ASTM D 8413 : 2022

1.1This guide describes how to measure the pore volume of catalytic materials by water immersion with the excess water removed with a centrifuge. The measured pore volume is converted to the dry pore volume by using the loss on ignition (LOI) of the material. It is generally applicable to both powdered materials and particles greater than about 1 mm.

1.2Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
