This equipment is used to determine true density and density of powder materials. This pycnometers is specifically designed to measure the true volume of solid materials by employing Archimedes’ principle of fluid displacement and gas expansion (Boyle's Law). The versatility of this equipment is important because the required volume for density determination depends on the fineness of the powder. The density is one of the basic physical characterization of powder materials.
