            Figure 1.5.  Determination of the (known) volume  of a  calibration cylinder by
                      gas expansion experiments  using  gases He  (5.0),  (5.0)  and  (5.5) at
                      298 K in a commercial gas pycnometer [1.48].

























            Figure 1.6. Determination of the  volume of activated  carbon  Norit R1  Extra by  helium
                      expansion  measurements  at 298 K in a  commercial gas pycnometer
                      (Micromerites, Accu Pyc 1330).

          b) The volume  of a sample  of (highly  microporous) activated  carbon (AC)
            Norit R1 Extra has been determined in a commercial  helium pycnometer
            (Micromeritics,  Accu Pyc  1330) at  293  K for  various pressures up  to
            0.12 MPa. Equilibration times were 10 – 60 s. Results are sketched in
