Ultrapyc 5000 Micro gas pycnometer
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.
- according to the regulations listed on the laboratory's website: http://wydzlab.agh.edu.pl/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Regulamin-WLBFSTiG.pdf
- scientific and research cooperation with AGH units and other domestic and foreign scientific units
- cooperation within the projects of NCN, NCBiR, cooperation with industry and under contracts
Gas pycnometer is used to measure the helium density of solid materials such as: soot, catalysts, cement, ceramics, charcoal, cosmetics, desiccants, fertilizers, fibers, minerals such as aluminum oxide, silica, titanium and others, pharmaceutical products, food powder and metal powder.
The device enables determination of helium density for small amounts of samples from 0.25 cm3 to 4.5 cm3.
