Density Measurement

Gas (helium) pycnometer instruments are used extensively for the physical characterization of industrial products such as powders, pharmaceuticals, petroleum coke, polymers, paint, adhesives, asphalt, and other construction materials. Our µThermoPyc™ ensures reliability, high accuracy, and repeatability due to low dead volume, precision pressure transducer, and 24-bit data acquisition. This instrument allows true volume measurements of small sample sizes in temperature ranges from 20° to 150°C. Complex experiments can be carried out to meet specific requirements for our clients and we generate accurate results quickly.
