Every AccuPyc comes equipped with AccuTemp, ensuring temperature stability to ±0.025 °C or better. This feature guarantees the most consistent temperature, resulting in the most accurate and reliable density measurement every time.

Unparalleled Measurement Gas Flexibility

Solid density can be accurately measured without additional steps, calibrations, or compromises using gases such as nitrogen, air, argon, and others. Users can effortlessly switch gases for non-microporous and non-adsorbing materials, preserving helium through advanced technology that has demonstrated its efficacy in industry-leading gas adsorption instruments within the micrometrics sector.

Powder Safe

Employing the PowderSafe mode during tests involving light, fluffy powders safeguards both the sample and the instrument. When measuring fine powders, elutriation can be prevented by pressurizing the reference chamber before introducing the sample. To eliminate concerns, users can choose this mode in the stored method for worry-free testing.

Run, Review, Report – At Your Fingertips

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

Users can measure and examine previous outcomes with a single touch 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

Eliminate concerns about outdated method settings or searching for previous results. The MIC NET, an instrument-to-instrument network, ensures forward compatibility with the current AccuPyc in the lab. It also enables seamless sharing and storage of 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 processes and save them in the Method Library. Remember it for future use to ensure consistent and accurate measurements using the correct method 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

Connecting the lab balance directly to the AccuPyc through USB streamlines the workflow and minimizes transcription errors. Transmitting the sample mass directly eradicates manual steps and reduces the likelihood of user errors. Additionally, the AccuPyc can be seamlessly integrated with other lab input devices, including keyboards or barcode readers, for enhanced user interaction.

FoamPyc

When analyzing open and closed cell content, compressibility, and cell fracture in chemically and mechanically formed cellular polymers such as 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.
