Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: German standard DIN 66132
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The principle of BET surface area testing is that at lower pressures gas adsorbs to solids in a monolayer. The surface area covered by this layer is calculated based on the number of gas molecules in a monolayer and the dimensions of an individual molecule. Monolayer formation of gas molecules is thus applied to determine the specific surface area (area per weight).
GLP compliance:
no
