scope:
Specifies the determination of the total specific external and internal surface area of disperse or porous solids by measuring the amount of physically adsorbed gas according to the method of Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET method) based on the 1984 IUPAC Recommendations. The BET method is applicable only to adsorption isotherms of type II (disperse, nonporous or macroporous solids) and type IV (mesoporous solids, pore diameter between 2 nm and 50 nm. Inaccessible pores are not detected. The BET method cannot reliably be applied to type I isotherms or to solids which absorb the measuring gas.
