Industry: Biotech

Press Release Summary: While similar to our other Capillary Flow Porometers, this
new CapFlow has unique features which our other machines do not have.

Press Release Body: Due to the extremely high pressure used when testing the
samples, PMI has implemented some safety features unique to this machine. The first
safety feature is the safety lock which is software controlled. This means it can
only be locked and unlocked by the computer software used in testing the sample.
Another key Feature of this safety lock is the fact that it will not unlock until
the pressure inside the sample chamber reaches zero. The other new safety feature of
this machine is the 3/8" thick safety glass on the door. This safety glass is
thicker than our standard 1/4" glass, and can contain any failures sustained within
the sample chamber.

Test Capabilities

The CFPC is rated for 500 psi maximum pressure in the sample chamber, and can test
pore sizes ranging from 0.013 - 80 microns (but can be customized for higher). The
machine has a Standard Liters Per
Minute (SLPM) of 200, and performs the following tests:

. Bubble Point (Maximum Through Pore Diameter)
. Through Pore Size Distribution
. Mean Flow Pore Diameter
. Pressure Hold
. Gas Permeability

Cartridge Size

The sample chamber has the ability to test cartridges up to 25cm long, and can have
many different sized adapters customized to suit your needs.
