Features of the equipment ü Used for measuring specific surface area, pore size distribution, and chemisorption, offering features like high accuracy, simultaneous measurement of multiple samples, and various measurement modes	Unique features/Measurement capabilities, if any Ø
Instrument Technical Description and Major Specifications (This Specifications Limited to Major 5) § Measurement Range: BET analyzers typically have a specified range for surface area measurements, expressed in square meters per gram (m²/g). The range can vary depending on the instrument	Measurement/Sample specifications: § Sample should be 0.1g if the expected surface area is high § 0.5g if if the expected surface area is low.

· Powders: Fine powders and particulate materials, including pharmaceutical powders, pigments, and metal powders, can be analyzed to determine their specific surface area and porosity.

· Liquid N2 should be brought by the user, otherwise an additional 50 rupees will be charged for it per sample.

· Login to the ISTEM portal and book the slot.

· Samples can be sent in the address,
