Abstract
It is well known that the evaluation of pore structure by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) is not totally accurate. The main reasons are the ink-bottle effect and the destruction of specimens due to excessive high pressure. Since mercury is intruded continuously from surface to inside of specimen, MIP test can obtain information about pore continuity. A unique method that can determine volumes of connected pores and ink-bottle pore structures is proposed. Also, the method can select a suitable maximum intrusion pressure.
