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