Verify sand screens, coalescers and process filters on the lot you received
Bubble point and pore size distribution on sand screens, coalescers and process filters up to 500 µm.
Model: MPA-100 Micropore · Industry: Oil & Gas
Technology principle
A screen that passes 20 µm where it was specified at 10 µm does not announce itself. It appears later as pump wear, as a fouled downstream unit, or as an unplanned shutdown. Pore measurement on incoming elements is the cheapest point in the chain to catch the discrepancy, and the only one where the supplier can still be held to the specification.
Applications
- Sand screens and slotted liners
- Coalescer and separator media
- Sintered metal process elements
- Catalyst supports and bed media
Key capabilities
- Lightweight, compact and ergonomically engineered, the M19 Micropore Analyzer (MPA-100) pairs a 15" capacitive touchscreen with enhanced pressure- and flow-control hardware, so operators run a full oil & gas test sequence with minimal training and markedly shorter cycle times. Available in aluminum or stainless-steel variants, it ships with real-time remote support, USB connectivity and remote-control automation. Domestic manufacturing in India and the USA keeps maintenance cost and downtime low, and a 2-year extended warranty is available.
- Modern, low-training user interface
- Lightweight and portable chassis
- IP65 rated · GAMP 5 compliant
- Three secure user levels — Operator, Supervisor and Administrator
- Versatile connectivity — USB, Ethernet and Wireless LAN
- Flexible reporting — built-in thermal printer or network / PDF / CSV export

Frequently asked questions
Our media is very open and high-flow. Will the instrument saturate?
Flow capacity is the usual constraint on coarse media. The MPA-100 handles up to 200 slpm and the Pro up to 240 slpm with the gas permeability option. Tell us the expected permeability and we will confirm the configuration before you commit.
Can we test a full-size element instead of cutting a coupon?
Often yes, with a chamber built for it. Cutting a coupon from a pleated element changes the edge condition, so for acceptance work an intact-element chamber is usually the better answer.
