Abstract: An arrangement for measuring a volume of a solid or liquid sample includes a first chamber for accommodating the sample; at least one second chamber connectable to the first chamber; a third chamber connectable to a gas supply source and connected to a gas entry path leading to at least one of the first chamber and the second chamber; a pressure sensor; plural gas paths comprising plural valves; a temperature equalization system configured to temper at least the first chamber, the second chamber and the third chamber to substantially a same temperature, wherein the gas paths and the valves are arranged and connected such as to allow, filling gas out of the third chamber into at least one of the first chamber and the second chamber, and measuring a pressure in at least one of the first chamber and the second chamber.

Abstract: A sample vessel assembly to carry out a sorption analysis in a container provided with a cooling liquid. The sample vessel assembly includes a sample vessel configured to be suspended within the container. The sample vessel has a sample holding region at a sample end of the vessel to hold a sample to be analyzed. A wick is disposed on the sample vessel and surrounds the sample holding region. The wick extends from the sample holding region to project toward a bottom of the container and draw the cooling liquid over the sample holding region when the sample vessel is disposed in an analysis position in the container.

Abstract: A cryogenic temperature controller assembly includes a controller and a thermostatic block that has a chamber for receiving a sample holder therein. The thermostatic block has a heat sink with an exposed surface for exposure to a cryogenic fluid. A heater is disposed intermediate the exposed surface and the chamber. The heater is connected to the controller. A temperature probe is disposed in the thermostatic block. The probe is connected to the controller. The controller regulates the heater based on an actual temperature from the probe to maintain a predetermined set point temperature in the thermostatic block.
