AccuPyc III

The Fastest, Easiest, Most Accurate Measurement Of True Density

Overview

GAS PYCNOMETER
FOR TRUE DENSITY OF SOLIDS

The AccuPyc gas pycnometer from Micromeritics is trusted around the world to provide the most reliable determinations of true density. More labs choose an AccuPyc than any other commercial gas pycnometer. The Accupyc delivers the highest available accuracy and repeatability in a system that is fast and easy for any operator to use.

1. Hinged Self-Aligning Lid

provides frustration-free operation and ensures repeatable chamber volume

2. AccuTemp Temperature Control

drives density repeatability by controlling temperature to ± 0.025°C from 4°C to 60°C*.

3. Intuitive Breeze Interface

makes it easy to measure samples and review results with or without a PC.

4. MIC Net

empowers your lab to operate as one by synchronizing results and methods across AccuPyc instruments. Laboratory network connection provides simple data retrieval and LIMS integration

5. Convenient USB

access for data transfer or peripheral device integration. Even more ports at the back of the instrument.

6.On-Board Reference Material Storage

keeps what you need, where you need it.

Why AccuPyc III?

Gas Pycnometer For True Density Of Solids

Seamless Device Connectivity

Simplify your workflow and avoid transcription errors when you connect your lab balance directly to the AccuPyc over USB connection. Sample mass is transmitted directly, removing a manual step and a potential for user-error. The AccuPyc can also integrate with other lab input devices like a keyboard or barcode reader to streamline user interaction

Run, Review, Report – At Your Fingertips

The intuitive Breeze touch interface gives you everything you need at your fingertips.
Perform a measurement, review past results, send a report to print or to LIMS with the touch of a finger. Save space in your lab by eliminating a PC from the bench.

Never hunt for a past result or worry that your method settings are out of date. MIC NET is an instrument-to-instrument network that shares and stores results and methods across devices, including forward compatibility with the AccuPyc that is in your lab today.

Different materials call for different operating conditions — whether testing light powders, granules, foams, or slurries. Define the conditions that are right for your process and store those conditions in the Method Library. Recall the next time you need it, so you always measure the same way — the right way.

Ultimate Volume Flexibility

The AccuPyc supports a wide range of measurement volume — without sacrificing
accuracy or adding complexity — with simple volume insert kits.

SCARCE SAMPLES

Low measuring volume to conserve valuable resources.

HETEROGENEOUS MATERIALS OR LARGE PIECES

High volume to ensure a representative measurement.

FOAMPYC

The FoamPyc methods follow ASTM and ISO methodologies to determine open and closed cell content, compressibility and cell fracture with chemically and mechanically formed cellular polymers such as PVC, polystyrene and polyurethane.
