Vacuum Pycnometer VPY-18LS

Overview

Vacuum Pycnometer VPY-18LS is designed with a pumping rate of 1L/S for efficient evacuation of air from the chamber. With its 18-liter chamber capacity, it facilitates accurate volume measurements for various materials. Our unit employs continuous vibration mode for uniform and consistent compression of samples. It is ideal for assessing asphalt mixes containing porous aggregates with water absorption below 3%. 

Features :

• Crafted with an aluminum base and frame
