Stainless steel liquid pycnometer with cylindrical sample cup and precision lid featuring a central overflow opening for density and specific gravity measurement.

Stainless Steel Liquid Pycnometer

Manufactured by Neurtek

This liquid pycnometer is used to determine the specific gravity or density of adhesives, inks, paints, pastes, and other industrial liquids. Its stainless steel construction makes it suitable for working with harsh chemicals because of its superior corrosion resistance.

Two different capacities are also available (50 cc and 100 cc), with or without a tare function for balanced measurements.

The 50 cc model is ideal for small samples, while the 100 cc pycnometer is suitable for higher-volume tests.

Important: For a reliable test, the use of a compatible precision balance is recommended.

Price range: £186.36 through £222.73

Benefits

  • Ensures highly accurate measurement of the specific gravity of paints, inks, and adhesives.
  • Provides consistent and repeatable results in quality control laboratories, manufacturing plants for paints, etc.
  • Tare option for balanced and fast measurements.
  • Calibrated design ensures constant volume.
  • Easy to clean for long-lasting durability.
  • Meets standards UNE EN ISO 2811 and ASTM 1475.

Step-by-step guide to using your pycnometer

  1. Weigh the empty pycnometer (if no tare is available).
  2. Fill it almost completely with the product to be analysed.
  3. Place the lid: excess liquid will be expelled through the upper hole.
  4. Clean the exterior and the lid to avoid residue.
  5. Weigh it again and subtract the weight of the empty container.
  6. Calculate the specific gravity using the obtained density.
  7. Clean the instrument after each use to maintain its accuracy.
