Quantachrome Instruments (ULTRA-PYC 1200e)

Description

It’s a high-precision gas pycnometer designed for true density and volume measurements of solid, porous, and powdered materials. Using gas displacement principles (Boyle’s Law), the instrument delivers fast, accurate, and non-destructive results, making it ideal for industries

How It Works:

The ULTRA-PYC 1200e operates on gas displacement (Boyle’s Law) to measure true volume:

  1. Gas Filling: A known reference volume is pressurized with inert gas (He).
  2. Expansion Phase: Gas expands into the sample chamber, and equilibrium pressure is recorded.
  3. Volume Calculation: The system compares pressure changes (before/after expansion).
  4. Density Calculation

Applications:

  • Pharmaceuticals: Powder density, porosity analysis.
  • Materials Science:Ceramics, metals, polymers, composites.
  • Geology & Minerals: Rock, soil, and cement density.

Advantages:

  • No Sample Prep: Measures irregular shapes & powders
  • Fast Results.
  • Non-Destructive Testing
