Porosity measurement
VISIOCELL is our method of measuring the porosity of foams

The procedure

  1. Microscopic pictures of the foam structure are taken with a special camera
  2. The picture is transferred to a PC
  3. The VISIOCELL software is started
  4. Individual cells are selected
  5. The cell diameter is measured
  6. The cell size (cell diameter) is given in microns
  7. The test report is printed
The advantages of the VISIOCELL method

Objectivity = The measurement results do not depend on the persons conducting the test, i.e. the results would be the same no matter who conducts it.
Reproducibility = Repeated tests lead to the same results.
Precision = The measurement is very exact due to the precisely defined method of selecting the cells and the user-friendly software.
Simplicity = Problem-free operation after short initial training

Speed = Exact measurements in just a few minutes.

PPI measurement is a method often used in the past. Compared with VISIOCELL, however, it has a number of serious disadvantages. 

Disadvantages of PPI measurement:

not reproducible = subsequent measurements often deliver different results
not objective = different people obtain different results
not precise = the three dimensional cells are reduced to a linear dimension and not clearly defined
