Description
This is to procure a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller Surface Area Analyzer.
Please review the attached solicitation and specificaitons documents.
Questions and Answers.
Q:1 Support for micropore volume determination using accepted adsorption models (e.g. t-plot, DR/DA) derived from adsorption isotherms; or A dedicated high-resolution micropore analyzer with specific low-pressure performance requirements (for example defined p/p₀ range, transducer resolution, or minimum measurable pore width).
A:1 Support for micropore volume determination using accepted adsorption models (e.g. t-plot, DR/DA) derived from adsorption isotherms
Q:2 Please confirm whether the requirement is to fully characterize pore size and pore size distribution for the samples (e.g., soil), or if a reported micropore volume would be sufficient?
A:2 The capability to determine the micropore volume and mesopore volume is what we require.
