08.60 Air Pycnometer

The vacuum air pycnometer has been designed to determine porosity and density of solid material. Measuring data allow to calculate specific weight. The air pycnometer is applied in various fields where calculation of specific weight is desired, such as soil research, powder- and granulate investigations for farmaceutic industry, road building, brick factories, food industry (coffee, leguminous plants, etc.). The apparatus is very suitable to measure volumes of irregularly shaped objects.
  • Determine volumes of soil, water and air
  • Based on using volumetric soil sample rings
  • An easy and quick way to determine volumes
  • Can be used for non-porous materials too
  • Using soil sample rings not obligatory
