The Ultrapyc Series of Gas Pycnometers

Ultrapyc gas pycnometers from Anton quantify the true and skeletal density of solids to monitor their porosity and purity. Measurements can be performed in less than 10 minutes, and, therefore, they are ideal to regulate the quality of users’ solid materials across the manufacturing process.

Ultrapycs integrate several years of knowledge with pioneering innovations to be the most easy-to-use gas pycnometers in any place. In the case of pharmaceuticals, battery materials, building materialsor any solid materials, true density measurement has never been so simple or more accurate.

Key Features

TruPyc Technology for Unmatched Accuracy in all Sample Cells

The precision of gas pycnometry depends on the correct matching of the void space inside the sample chamber to the volume of the reference chamber. Any discrepancy in this ratio results in huge uncertainty.

For this fault to be prevented, the Ultrapycs provide the conclusive solution: All Ultrapycs feature multiple reference chambers to guarantee precise outcomes if users have only sufficient sample to fill the smallest sample cell or sufficient for the largest sample cell. The instrument automatically chooses and makes use of the suitable reference chamber depending on the chosen cell size.

TruLock lid Provides Absolute Repeatability

The TruLock sample chamber lid is developed for easy usage and consistent sample chamber volume each time that it is sealed. This enables Ultrapyc instruments to ensure best-in-class accuracy. Users receive an immediate response from the lid and can be certain that the sample chamber volume remains the same, following each measurement.

PowderProtect Technology for Safely Measuring Fine Powders

The standard “sample first” expansion direction used in the Ultrapyc instruments guarantees that users have control over the highest pressure to which the sample is exposed during the measurement.

Shifting the unit to PowderProtect mode overturns this order and avoids contamination of the instrument with fine powders. The Ultrapyc 5000 series is the only commercially available gas pycnometer that provides users the option to work in either direction.

Precise, Fastand Hassle-Free Temperature Control

External water baths for temperature control are outdated. Users can cut the clutter with the most advanced Peltier temperature control providing temperature stability better than +/–0.05 °C on Ultrapyc 5000 pycnometers.

Rapid temperature stabilization is ensured and users can be assured that their samples are always being quantified at exactly the right temperature regardless of the environmental conditions.

Intuitive User Interface for Simple Instrument Control

Ultrapyc instruments are equipped with a user interface same as that of a Smartphone on their 7″ touch-screen. The graphical overview of the measurement keeps users informed regarding the progress at any time.

The instrument itself is all that users require to execute measurement and clearly observe the result with all its particulars. Since an additional computer makes is not needed, valuable lab bench space is saved.

Direct Connection to Weighing Balances to Prevent Transcription Errors

Users can avoid the risk of a transcription error, which occurs when entering data manually from an external balance, by connecting their Ultrapyc directly to any balance with the help of an RS232 communication protocol.
