GeoPyc 1360
Description
The GeoPyc 1360 Envelope Density Analyzer rapidly measures the envelope density of porous objects of irregular size and shape by using a unique displacement measurement technique. Envelope density is the mass of an object divided by its volume where the volume includes that of its pores and small cavities. Envelope density information is useful in characterizing catalysts, structural foams, insulators, ceramics, powder metallurgy objects, and other manufactured goods.
Features
- Highly accurate and reproducible results
- Fast operation
- Small table-top unit
- Fully automated data acquisition and reporting
- Uses non-hazardous microspheres
- Non-destructive to samples
- Multiple operation modes
- Multiple sample chambers available
- Multiple language capability
Analysis Technique
The GeoPyc follows a unique displacement measurement technique that uses a quasi-fluid composed of small, rigid spheres having a high degree of flowability; this medium is called DryFlo™. The sample is placed in a bed of DryFlo and the DryFlo is agitated and gently consolidated about the sample. The GeoPyc collects the displacement data, performs the calculations, and displays or prints the results. The unit also reports percentage porosity and specific pore volume when absolute density information (density excluding pore and small cavity volume obtained from Micromeritics’ AccuPyc 1330 helium pycnometer) is entered.
