## Air permeability specific surface - Wikipedia

Measurement consists of packing the powder into a cylindrical "bed" having a known porosity (i.e. volume of air-space between particles divided by total bed volume). A pressure drop is set up along the length of the bed cylinder. The resulting flow-rate of air through the bed yields the specific surface by the Kozeny–Carman equation: $${\displaystyle S={\cfrac {7d}{\rho \,(1-\epsilon \,)}}{\sqrt {\dfrac {\epsilon \,^{3}\pi \,\delta \,P}{l\eta \,Q}}}}$$
