Description
The AccuPyc determines density and volume by measuring the pressure change of nitrogen within a calibrated volume. This technique is non-destructive as it uses the gas displacement method to measure volume. Inert gases, such as helium or nitrogen, are used as the displacement medium. Density calculations using the gas displacement method are much more accurate and reproducible than the traditional Archimedes water displacement method.
