Pycno meter

Test Procedure

After being brought to 20 °C the Pycnometer is weighed and then filled with the specimen material, also at a temperature of 20 °C, up to a level just below the top edge, in such a way that trapping of air is avoided.

The lid is then placed into position with a light turning movement and surplus material escaping through the overflow hole is wiped off.

The instrument is then weighed again.

To open the Pycnometer a special opening aid can be supplied as accessory.

For exact calculations please refer to the formula described in DIN 53 217 - Part 2.
