Evapoporometry (EP) is a relatively new technique for measuring the pore-size distribution (PSD) of membranes, which is a key determinant of properties such as the permeability and rejection. EP is based on determining the pore diameter from the evaporation rate of a volatile wetting liquid that ini...
