TQC Sheen Pycnometer Density Cup

Benefits of a stainless steel pycnometer

While aluminium pycnometers offer advantages such as lower cost and lighter weight, a stainless steel pycnometer is still the preferred choice in many industrial and laboratory applications where precision and reliability are paramount. It offers the following benefits:

• Superior corrosion resistance — Makes the pycnometer suitable for use in environments with harsh chemicals or high humidity. This resistance also ensures the longevity of the instrument and maintains its accuracy over time.
• Enhanced durability — A stainless steel density cup can withstand rough handling and accidental impacts better than aluminium. This reduces the risk of damage to the pycnometer during use or transportation.
• Easy cleaning and sterilisation — Stainless steel surfaces are smooth and non-porous, making them simply to clean and sterilise. This is imperative in applications were cleanliness and hygiene are paramount, such as in pharmaceutical or food industries.
• Higher chemical compatibility — Stainless steel is compatible with a wide range of chemicals and solvents, making it practical for use with various types of liquids or substances without the risk of chemical reactions or contamination.
