Envelope volume and density of formed pieces and compressed powders
The Micromeritics GeoPyc provides fast, highly accurate, and reproducible envelope volume and density results while maintaining the integrity of your samples.
The GeoPyc is an innovative benchtop instrument designed for precise and efficient determination of the envelope volume and density of solid objects without the use of hazardous materials. By employing DryFlo, a non-invasive solid medium, the GeoPyc delivers rapid, reliable, and consistent results while preserving the integrity of the sample.
Additionally, it offers an optional Trans-Axial Pressure (T.A.P.) analysis for comprehensive evaluation of the compressed bulk density of powders.
When combined with skeletal density measurements, the GeoPyc can also provide detailed information on the pore volume and porosity of formed pieces.
Provides controlled-compression analysis with results in as little as 15 minutes
Ensures highly accurate and reproducible measurements
The GeoPyc T.A.P. density option obtains precise results comparable to conventional tap density analyzers, only it does it faster, quieter, and with a higher degree of reproducibility.
When equipped with the T.A.P. Density option, the GeoPyc measures the packing volume and calculates the bulk density of granular and powdered samples, including pharmaceutical and electrochemical materials, under a wide range of compaction conditions.
To determine T.A.P. density, the sample chamber is rotated and agitated while a precisely specified force is applied to the sample. A force transducer measures the consolidation force in Newtons
