This test method covers the measurement of the specific surface area of precipitated silicas exclusive of area contained in micropores too small to admit hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, commonly referred to as CTAB) molecules. This test method is suitable for characterizing rubber-grade silicas of all types.
