Hinged Self-Aligning Lid

Enables hassle-free operation, ensuring consistent chamber volume for repeatable results

Convenient USB

Enhanced accessibility for data transfer or integration with peripheral devices, featuring additional ports at the instrument's rear.

Intuitive Breeze Interface

Facilitates straightforward sample measurement and result review, with or without a PC.

MIC Net

Promotes seamless collaboration across the laboratory by synchronizing results and methods across AccuPyc instruments. The laboratory network connection allows easy data retrieval and LIMS integration.

On-Board Reference Material Storage

Maintains essential elements in the desired location.

AccuTemp Temperature Control

Ensures density repeatability by precisely controlling temperature within ± 0.025 °C across the range of 4 °C to 60 °C.

Not Just Fast, The Fastest

Shorter run times result from a more stable system that equilibrates quickly and exchanges gas more effectively. Measurements can be finished 20–30% faster than with any other pycnometer.

Not Just Accurate, the Most Accurate

The user can measure density at process-appropriate conditions with precision control ranging from 4 °C to 60 °C. The AccuTemp thermoelectric temperature control system operates silently and is air-cooled.

The Same Result Anytime, Any Place With AccuTemp

AccuTemp, which ensures temperature stability to ±0.025 °C or better, is a feature of every AccuPyc. The most consistent temperature guarantees the most accurate, consistent density measurement every time.

Unparalleled Measurement Gas Flexibility

Solid density can be measured without extra steps, calibrations, or compromises using nitrogen, air, argon, and other gases. Users can switch gases and save helium when testing non-microporous and non-adsorbing materials. Advanced technology is proven in industry-leading gas adsorption instruments from the Micrometrics sector.

Powder Safe

Using PowderSafe mode when testing light, fluffy powders protects both the user sample and the instrument. Elutriation can be avoided by pressurizing the reference chamber before the sample chamber for measuring fine powders. Select it in the stored method to ensure that you never worry again.  

Run, Review, Report – At the Fingertips

The user-friendly Breeze touch interface provides all the essential features at your fingertips.

With a single touch, carry out a measurement, examine previous outcomes, and send a report to LIMS or printing. Remove the PC from the bench to free up space in the lab.

Act as One With MIC NET

Users do not need to worry that the method settings are outdated or try to find a previous result. An instrument-to-instrument network called MIC NET is capable of forward compatibility with the AccuPyc that is currently in the lab, as well as sharing and storing methods and results across devices.

Testing light powders, granules, foams, or slurries requires different operating conditions because different materials require different conditions. Establish the ideal conditions for the process and save them in the Method Library. Remember to utilize this approach the next time, ensuring consistent and accurate measurements by following the correct procedure each time.

Ultimate Volume Flexibility

With straightforward volume insert kits, the AccuPyc accommodates a broad range of measurement volumes without compromising accuracy or adding complexity.

Seamless Device Connectivity

When users connect lab balance straight to the AccuPyc via USB, they can streamline workflow and prevent transcription errors. By transmitting the sample mass directly, a manual step and the possibility of user error are eliminated. The AccuPyc can also be integrated with other lab input devices, such as a keyboard or barcode reader, to facilitate user interaction.

FoamPyc

When determining open and closed cell content, compressibility, and cell fracture with chemically and mechanically formed cellular polymers like PVC, polystyrene, and polyurethane, the FoamPyc methods adhere to ASTM and ISO methodologies.

Scarce Samples

Low measuring volume to conserve valuable resources.

Heterogeneous Materials or Large Pieces

High volume to ensure a representative measurement.
