box, all controlled by one external control module.
If you have an existing AccuPyc, you can order the glove box analysis unit containing the desired sam-

You would not have to order a controller in this case.

High-Pressure Core Pycnometer
Gas pycnometry is recognized as one of the most reliable techniques for obtaining skeletal volume and
density. The AccuPyc High-Pressure pycnometer is a fully automatic pycnometer that provides high-
speed, high-precision volume measurements and density determinations on intact or crushed shale core
samples.
The high-pressure core pycnometer:
• Operates at a high pressure of 500 psi to provide a better diffusion of the gas into the
rock.
• Has a stainless steel sample chamber with a volume of 100 cm

.
• Has a sample chamber that can accommodate a 48 mm (1.85 in.) diameter core of up
to 60 mm (2.40 in.) in length.
