According to the module, the other endof each of the plurality of porous cylindrical bodiesthe one endof each of which is closed is opened to the gas chamberbetween the end capand the end cover, and the end capis provided with the through-holeleading from the gas chamberoutward, and the gas chamberleads outward by means of a path passing through the through-holeand through the porous cylindrical body. The modulecan have a gas-passing path from the peripheral wallof the porous cylindrical-bodyoutward through the gas chamberand through the through-hole. Since the airtight sealing structure of the whole of the reaction containercan be formed independently of the airtight connecting structure of the through-holeand the gas lead-out opening, the permeability and the like of the modulethat has various dimensions can be measured by means of a common reaction containerformed to have a predetermined size and structure by forming the through-holein a predetermined form corresponding to the connecting structure with the gas lead-out opening, regardless of the size of the whole of the module

Porous cylindrical-body module, structure for supporting porous cylindrical bodies, and method for fastening a supporting member

The present invention provides a method for making a microporous ceramic material and includes the steps of (a) preparing a starting material for firing comprising a nonoxide ceramic precursor containing silicon as an essential component; (b) heating the starting material for firing in an atmosphere containing at least 1 mol % of hydrogen so as to form microporous ceramic product; and (c) cooling the microporous ceramic product.
