Density Analysis

logo_without_tag

  Controlling the density of finished goods is often desirable for performance as well as economic considerations. For this reason, many manufacturers strive to develop materials that are partially porous yet still fulfill their function, while others seek an end product of maximum density. For example, the quality of a thermal insulating material is related to low density (maximum closed cell void space) while the quality of a laminated material is indicated by maximized density (minimized unfilled voids). Precise, accurate, and highly sensitive density determinations play a key role in these applications.

Density influences the overall quality of manufactured products and density measurements guide the manufacturing process. For this reason, Micromeritics gas pycnometers are used worldwide to characterize raw materials as well as to determine the density of finished products.

The AccuPyc® II 1340 Series Pycnometers are fast, fully automatic analyzers that provide high-speed, high-precision volume measurements and density calculations on a wide variety of powders, solids, and slurries. Using a gas displacement technique to measure volume, the AccuPyc II 1340 completes most sample analyses in less than three minutes.
