  • Patent number: 9784637
    Abstract: An adsorption characteristic measuring apparatus is configured to: acquire a unit-time leak pressure value from a pressure increase value of an internal pressure value of a sample tube caused by an non-adsorption gas leaking from the outside of a fitting portion into an inner space of the sample tube; acquire a pressure value at which a temporal change of the internal pressure value of the sample tube assumes an equilibrium state when an adsorption gas present in the reference volume portion is supplied into the sample tube and the sample tube is in a closed state; calculate a pressure value after correction of a real leak pressure value is performed on a measured equilibrium pressure value, as a true equilibrium pressure value, the real leak pressure value being obtained in such a manner that the unit-time leak pressure value is multiplied by a leak time; and calculate an adsorption isotherm.
