Several frequently ignored aspects of mercury intrusion porosimetry are discussed. The importance of knowing the correct contact angle between the mercury and the solid is emphasized. It is also suggested that mercury intrusion be considered in some instances when a specific surface measurement is desired. Also, a method for handling inhomogeneous samples is discussed. Finally, a possibly instructive use for the hysteresis found on depressurization is explored.
