HIGH PRESSURE PYCNOMETER
Gas pycnometry is recognized as one of the most reliable techniques for obtaining skeletal volume
and density. The fully automatic AccuPyc High Pressure pycnometer provides high speed, high
precision volume measurements and density determinations on intact or crushed shale core
samples.
The high pressure pycnometer:
n Operates at a pressure of up to 500 psi to provide a better diffusion of the gas into the rock.
n Has a stainless steel sample chamber with a volume of 100 cm
3
.
n Has a sample chamber that can accommodate a 48 mm (1.85 in.) diameter core of up to 60 mm
(2.40 in.) in length.
LARGE VOLUME PYCNOMETER
The AccuPyc Large Volume pycnometer sample chamber addresses the specific needs of
operations that require pore volume knowledge of intact drilling cores. This instrument eliminates the
need to break core samples into smaller pieces prior to analysis.
The large volume pycnometer:
n Has a large sample chamber with a volume of approximately 2000 cm
3
.
n Has a sample chamber that can accommodate a 95 mm (3.74 in.) diameter core of up to 278 mm
(10.9 in.) in length.
