Permeametry is a method to determine the specific surface area of powders and particulate materials by passing a known quantity of air through a prepared powder plug and measuring the pressure drop. It uses the Kozeny-Carman equation to relate the gas flow rate to characteristics of the powder bed. There are two main types of permeametres - constant pressure and constant flow - and permeametry is applied in fields such as geology and pharmaceuticals.
