HELIUM PYCNOMETER
PYC-100A
OPERATING PROCEDURE
PMI's Advanced Gas Pycnometer is used to determine the true
volume and true density of powders and bulk solids, including
calcinated petroleum coke. The true volume of a solid is calculated
from the measured drop in pressure when a known amount of gas is
allowed to expand into a chamber containing the sample. Thus, the
true volume obtained by pycnometry excludes any pore volume
accessible to the gas. Helium is the preferred gas, because it exhibits
ideal gas behavior. The helium pycnometer measures the true volume
and density of solid powders. Should be fully automatic, provide
high-speed, high-precision volume measurements and density
calculations.
AMBIENT CONDITIONS
The uncontrolled ambient room / Laboratory conditions include;
Temperature: 5 to 50 º C, Relative Humidity: 100%, Dusty
SAMPLE TREATMENT
Samples are conditioned to remove any trapped air and
contaminants. Option to purge by a suitable method.
VOLUME CALIBRATION
Calibration volume spheres supplied shall be calibrated by NIST test
# 821/25B 592-97 performed in accordance with requirements of
ANSI/NSCL 2640-1-94 and ISO 10012-1-92. Copy of certi cation of
calibration will be included along with the supply.
OPERATION MODE
Automatic operation via personnel computer (PC) and manual mode
by panel buttons.
SAMPLE CHAMBERS
The PMI Helium Pycnometer is supplied with 3 variable minimum
sample chamber volumes.
GAS CYLINDER
