Gurley Densometers Permeability / Porosity Meter

The Gurley Densometer works by having a cylinder of know weight floating freely within a outer cylinder of oil. Typical cylinder weights are 5oz & 20oz. The oil acts as air seal between the material being tested and orifice of the instrument. The material is clamped between the clamping plates with a closely controlled size of 1.0 square inches (standard) or 0.25 or 0.1 square inches.

The Gurley S-P-S Tester version can also measure surface smoothness and softness (compressibility)

This method complies with the following standards

ISO 5636/5 – TAPPI T460 –  TAPPI T-536 – ASTM D-726 – BS 5926 ASTM D 726 – APPITA / AS 1301-420  – CPPA D.14  – NF Q 03-078 – SCAN P-19
