4,882,428ft²/lb
That's 4× as fine as a catalyst support, while activated carbon is 1.2× higher. A five-gram spoonful would cover about 19.16 tennis courts.
What it means
How much surface is that?
Particle sizes assume smooth spheres at 2.5 g/cm³. Real porous materials have far more area than their outside size suggests, which is the point of measuring.
The math
How to convert m²/g to ft²/lb
To convert square meters per gram to square feet per pound, multiply by 4,882.43.
Example: 1,000 m²/g × 4,882.43 = 4,882,430 ft²/lb.
In the other direction, 1 ft²/lb = 0.000204816 m²/g.
