Measuring Low Specific Surface Area Standards with the SA-9600

A feasibility study to measure low specific surface areas with the SA-9600 Series was performed using Certified Reference Materials BCR 169, 170 and 172 from the European Commission Joint Research Centre. The reference materials consist of two alpha-alumina powders and one quartz powder, with certified values 0.1, 1.05, 2.56 m2/gram, respectively. The results show the SA-9600 can measure low specific surface area, with great agreement with certified values.
