Ultrapyc 5000 Micro gas pycnometer

Trade name
Gas pycnometer for measuring the density of solids: Ultrapyc 5000 Micro
Technical description

The Ultrapyc 5000 Micro gas pycnometer is used to precisely measure the actual density of solids in the form of powders or monoliths. Helium is used for measurements. The device has a built-in temperature control using a Peltier module. Measurements are performed in the range of 15 °C to 50 °C, standardly at 20 °C. The gas pycnometer is equipped with three measuring chambers with different volumes: Micro cell: 4.5 cm3, Meso cell: 1.8 cm3, Nano cell: 0.25 cm3.
