IQI PYC
Ultimate True Density

The Ultimate True Density Machine and the indispensable

R&D tool for materials characterizations:  IQIPyc

The most versatile, accurate, and unique design combining gas (helium) pycnometer and micropycnometer in one  instrument for true volume (density) measurements of solid state samples (e.g. fine powders) at ambient  temperature conditions with nanoliters resolution. 

 

 

          

 

 

 

Some of the main features of the IQIPyc™ design are:   0.1 cc , 1 cc, and 10 cc sample chambers

  • Actual volume measurements accuracy of ± 0.0002 cc with 0.1 cc hardware
  • Dual gas selection option - additional characterization by different gases
  • Unique design of sample holders – special filters for fine powders (e.g. silica fumes)
  •  Variable volume of reference chamber w/ possibility of additional external volumes
  • Continuous flow of gas into and out of sample chamber  (proportional valve)
  •  Internal vacuum pump (miniature, diaphragm, 7-10 kPa capability) and external vacuum port 
  • Effective sample pretreatment – vacuum and pressure cycle
  • Built-in high accuracy low pressure regulator (up to 17 bar (250 psig) input)
  • Auto (any Windows OS) and Manual (software) modes of operation
  • Unique design of software to create experiments by using predefined “macros”  of specific tasks
  • High accuracy and resolution (24-bit data acquisition ADC)
  •  Flexibility of designing and carrying out experiments and transparency of experimental data (txt format,  easy transfer to spreadsheets)
  • Custom made accessories allow usage of external chambers for larger volumes or other chamber volumes
  • Pricing from the basic volumetric core (pycnometer) of specific volume range to include applicable  options and custom hardware.
