Our Products
Our offered Product range includes Air Comparison Pycnometer and ugt air gas pycnometer.
DescriptionThe vacuum air pycnometer has been designed to determine the volume and density of solid material, such as soil samples. It can be applied in every field where it's important to calculate a specific weight, such as soil research, powder- and granulate investigations for the pharmaceutic industry, road building, brick factories, and the food industry (coffee, leguminous plants, etc.). The apparatus is especially useful to measure the volumes of irregularly shaped objects.
The principle
An under pressure is created in the vacuum bell that the object to be measured is placed in. Depending on the gas volume present in the bell, more or less air will be extracted. The quantity of the air present is independent of the volume taken by the object to be measured. After the under pressure has stabilised, the volume of the object can be read from the calibrated scale.
Remarks
Applications
The pycnometer can be applied wherever knowing a specific weight is desired:
Limitation: Temperature variations influence the measurements (can be prevented by climate control in the laboratory).
Our air or gas pycnometer is an innovative measuring instrument for the determination of the air-filled pore volume, the solid volume as well as the solid density (dry bulk density) of a substrate sample in the laboratory. Especially the pore volume is a decisive factor for the evaluation of a soil for many questions of water balance, soil management or soil remediation. Air and water conductivity, as well as water and nutrient retention capacity are directly related to pore volume.
rnHow does our air pycnometer work?
rnThe measuring method is based on the fact that only the solid volume VF of a solid sample displaces gas, while pore or void volumes are filled with gas. The air or gas pycnometer consists of a measuring chamber and an additional chamber, which forms the additional volume Vz. The known additional volume is filled with compressed air or the connected gas and connected to the measuring chamber containing the substrate sample via a shut-off valve. Opening the valve results in pressure equalization within the two volumes.
rnWhen used as anair pycnometer, atmospheric air is supplied as compressed air via the integrated compressor. Use as agas pycnometervia the external gas connection enables measurement with gases with defined properties, excluding the effects of air components and humidity (absorption and corrosion).
rnApplication areas
rnOur air or gas pycnometers are suitable for undisturbed soil samples as well as for bulk materials such as sands, gravels or plant granules.
rnThe large measuring chamber with a volume of approx. 2100 cm enables the examination of correspondingly large samples.
