Pycnometer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-MH-12736
The Pycnometer by Educational Instrument India is a precision laboratory glassware instrument used to determine the density and specific gravity of liquids, powders, and fine granular materials. It is widely used in physics laboratories, chemistry labs, material testing labs, soil testing labs, educational institutions, and research laboratories.
A pycnometer is designed with a fixed volume and a close-fitting stopper, often provided with a capillary opening to allow excess liquid to escape. This helps obtain accurate volume measurement and improves the reliability of density calculations. It is especially useful for experiments where accurate measurement of mass and volume is required.
The Pycnometer is suitable for school, college, and laboratory practicals related to density, relative density, specific gravity, and material analysis. Its simple design and accurate performance make it an essential instrument for science education and laboratory testing.

How to Use
Clean and dry the pycnometer properly before use.
Weigh the empty pycnometer with its stopper using a balance.
Fill the pycnometer with distilled water or the liquid sample up to the mark or stopper level.
Insert the stopper carefully and allow excess liquid to escape through the capillary opening, if provided.
Wipe the outside surface dry with a clean cloth or tissue.
Weigh the filled pycnometer accurately.
Empty, clean, and dry the pycnometer before using another sample.
Repeat the process with the test liquid, powder, or material as per the experiment requirement.
Use the recorded mass and known volume to calculate density or specific gravity.
Clean the pycnometer after use and store it safely in a dry place.
