Description
The GeoPyc 1360 Envelope Density Analyzer rapidly
measures the envelope density of porous objects of irregular size and shape by
using a unique displacement measurement technique. Envelope density is the mass
of an object divided by its volume where the volume includes that of its pores
and small cavities. Envelope density information is useful in characterizing
catalysts, structural foams, insulators, ceramics, powder metallurgy objects,
and other manufactured goods.
Features
- Highly accurate and reproducible results
- Fast operation
- Small table-top unit
- Fully automated data acquisition and reporting
- Uses non-hazardous microspheres
- Non-destructive to samples
- Multiple operation modes
- Multiple sample chambers available
- Multiple language capability
Analysis Technique
The GeoPyc follows a unique displacement measurement
technique that uses a quasi-fluid composed of small, rigid spheres having a high
degree of flowability; this medium is called DryFlo™. The sample is
placed in a bed of DryFlo and the DryFlo is agitated and gently
consolidated about the sample. The GeoPyc collects the displacement data,
performs the calculations, and displays or prints the results. The unit also
reports percentage porosity and specific pore volume when absolute density
information (density excluding pore and small cavity volume obtained from
Micromeritics’ AccuPyc 1330 helium pycnometer) is entered.
