One of the outputs of mercury porosimetry is Differential intrusion in ml/g/um.
this is ml of Hg per g of sample per um of what?
What is that micrometer? The characteristic length of the sample, the average pore diameter or radius?.

Also, why is there a "log differential intrusion", for which the unit is ml/g. The um have vanished but what has been log-ed?

Thx.
