Introducing AccuSorp HP
The AccuSorp HP (High Pressure) system is a static high-pressure gas adsorption analyzer designed to measure surface area, adsorption kinetics, porosity, and gas storage capacity of materials at pressures up to 200 bar, a condition that is typically found in real-world applications.
Backed by over six decades of Micromeritics’ experience in gas adsorption technology, the system ensures automated operation, publication-grade accuracy, and consistent outcomes to meet the requirements of industrial quality control and the latest research and development.
Process-Relevant
Characterization at Process-Relevant Conditions
The physisorption analyzer characterizes materials at operating pressures up to 200 bar, ensuring laboratory data predicts industrial performance. It allows users to make data-backed decisions to optimize processes across various applications such as carbon capture, gas separation, gas storage, and more.
More High-Pressure Adsorption Data With Less Pressure on Operators
Conventional high-pressure adsorption analysis technology affects productivity and requires frequent operator intervention during long analytical procedures. AccuSorp HP differs by allowing dual-sample analysis and providing consistent accuracy, while preventing the need for manual intervention. This enables laboratories to analyze more samples with reduced burden, while trusting each data point.
The system is designed to enable laboratories to achieve reproducible results at scale, without the challenges faced by conventional processes.
