Determining the pore-size distribution (PSD) of ultrafiltration membranes is crucial in assessing their properties. Evapoporometry (EP) characterizes the PSD based on evaporating a volatile wetting liquid from the membrane pores that permits determining the pore diameter using the Kelvin equation. E...
