  Pycnometer, Automatic, for Density Determination: Ultra pycnometer and Penta pycnometer
Ultra pycnometer 1000 are the ultimate instruments for measuring the true density and volume of powders, catalysts, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, carbons, building materials, rock cores, etc.
The Penta pycnometer permits up to five samples to be loaded and then purged simultaneously.
For laboratories with fewer density analysis needs, the single sample station Ultra pycnometer 1000 provides the same ease of operation and high performance as the Penta pycnometer.
