Micromeritics' Geopyc 1360 Density Analyzer is ideal for determining the bulk density of roller compactions and the ribbon created during the process.
The Geopyc 1360 is based on the Archimedes principle and uses a quasi-fluid displacement medium composed of non-hazardous microspheres with fluid properties.
This eliminates the need for oils, solvents and mercury, which are traditionally required as displacement mediums.
Micromeritics's Dryflo displacement material does not wet the sample or fill its external or internal pores.
A light shaking or dusting completely removes the Dryflo after analysis, allowing the roller compaction ribbon to be reused or retested.
The Geopyc collects the displacement data, performs the calculations and displays or prints the results.
A variety of sample chambers is available to accommodate a range of sample sizes.
When coupled with an absolute density technology (Micromeritics's Accupyc II 1340 gas displacement pycnometer, for example), the Geopyc can calculate the bulk or envelope density of the ribbon and per cent porosity and total pore volume.
