Two variations of the liquid extrusion technique for pore structure analysis have been analyzed and results obtained using nonwoven materials have been discussed. Strengths and limitations of the techniques have been evaluated. The techniques can measure all the important pore characteristics of nonwovens without using any toxic material or high pressures.
