Experimental raw data sets associated with certified reference material BAM-P114 (titanium dioxide) for comparison of nitrogen and argon sorption, available in the universal adsorption information format (AIF)

These data sets serve as models for calculating the specific surface area (BET method) using gas sorption in accordance with ISO 9277.The present measurements were carried out with nitrogen at 77 Kelvin and argon at 87 Kelvin.It is recommended to use the following requirements for the molecular cross-sectional area:Nitrogen: 0.1620 nm²Argon: 0.1420 nm²

Expected specific surface area for nitrogen (BET): 24 to 25 m²/gExpected specific surface area for argon (BET): 20 m²/g

Titanium dioxides certified with nitrogen sorption and additionally measured with argon for research purposes were used as sample material.The resulting data sets are intended to serve as comparative data for own measurements and show the differences in sorption behaviour and evaluations between nitrogen and argon.These data are stored in the universal AIF format (adsorption information format), which allows flexible use of the data.
