Evapoporometry (EP) determines the pore-size distribution (PSD) based on the Kelvin equation that relates the evaporation rate of a volatile wetting liquid to the pore diameter. EP offers several advantages relative to other PSD characterization methods. EP is adapted here to characterize only the c...
