ABSTRACT
Porosity is the single most important feature of porous materials. On the basis of the research work, a new method to measure the porosity of porous materials is proposed in this paper. This method is a system of equations composed of six formulas, so it is called model equation method. It is not only applicable to space holder technique but also applicable to metal prepared by pure powder metallurgy. Compared with mass volume method and immersion medium method, our new method is more simple and efficient. More importantly, it can be used as a standard measure. This study provides a fundamental basis for the measurement of porosity in porous materials.
