Gas Pycnometer and Helium Pycnometers

Overview

PMI's Gas Pycnometer provides a reliable measurement of the absolute density of solid materials. The Gas Pycnometer performs a fully automated, non-destructive test that allows the user to control the number of test iterations, thereby adjusting test duration and measurement accuracy.

  • User-defined number of iterations per sample for improved measurement accuracy
  • Windows-based software controls the instrument, performs measurements, collects data, and generates reports; manual operation also possible
  • Compatible with Windows XP or later operating systems
  • Real-time graphical display shows test status and results during operation
  • Non-destructive testing
  • Typical test duration: approximately 30 minutes (based on 10 iterations)
  • Compatible with a wide range of sample types and sizes
  • Multiple sample chamber configurations available
  • Minimal maintenance required
