* Fee includes tuition, course material, laboratory demonstration, sight seeing, meals and ALL transportation. Fee is waived for one participant for customers who have purchased a machine AND have not previously attended any of our short courses. The machine must be located at the location you are coming from - ie: If company X has three different plants, and the plant in Virginia buys a machine, someone from the plant in Michigan would still have to pay for the course.
* Hotel not included in course fee, but can be booked at course rates. These rates are only available to course attendees during the Short Course.

Short Course Schedule
Experts will discuss the wide spectrum of pore structures exhibited by porous materials and the basic scientific principles of the current and advanced pore structure characterization techniques. Advances in instrumentation, design and integration will also be considered. Invited speakers will discuss their experiences with porosity measurements. The course also includes demonstration lectures and hands on experience with instruments in the PMI Laboratory.
