Some experimental aspects of the construction and use of a conventional BET apparatus are discussed. Certain improvements in the method of measuring adsorption and in the size of the equipment resulted in the development of the “micro BET” apparatus described here. A considerable simplification in the technique of measurement has been attained. The application of the apparatus is demonstrated by examples.
