Adsorption data at high pressures provide information about properties of the adsorbent material and about the structure of the adsorbed phase. In order to obtain this information adsorption processes need to be measured in a wide pressure range and require careful experimental data handling. In this paper, an experimental installation with a magnetic suspension balance for the gravimetric measurement of adsorption equilibria data at pressures still inaccessible for this experimental technique will be presented. Using this instrument the adsorption data of He, CH(4), N(2) and Ar on a microporous activated carbon are measured at pressures up to 50 MPa at T = 298 15 K. The resulting data allow a critical discussion of the commonly used model for the volume of the adsorbent material (i.e. the Helium-volume). As a result of this, a new model for the volume of the adsorbed phase is proposed. This volume model allows to calculate a pressure dependent density of the adsorbed phase. The model and the resulting densities of the adsorbed phase are discussed concerning their physical sensitivity.
