SOIL PYCNOMETERS

Pycnometers

Product Code  :   MSI 3037)

Standard Used  :  BS 812 | IS 2720 (Part 3) 

Precision manufactured to fully comply with British and Indian standards for determining the specific gravity of soil fractions and fine aggregates.

Product Description
The Multitech Scientific Instruments MSI 3037 Pycnometers apparatus is a specialized laboratory instrument used to determine the specific gravity of cohesionless soils, sand, clays, and gravels. It is optimized for geological samples containing particle fractions smaller than 10 mm. By establishing an accurate density-to-volume ratio of the soil grains within a sealed environment, this apparatus helps geotechnical laboratories evaluate foundational settlement and void ratios without structural fluid bleed.

• Features

  • High-Clarity Glass Jar: Manufactured using a robust, thick-walled 1 kg glass container that allows clear visual inspection for trapped air bubbles during testing.

  • Precision-Machined Brass Cone: Outfitted with a screw-on brass cone cap featuring a smooth apex hole to release excess water and trapped air seamlessly.

  • Leak-Proof Sealing System: Designed with a heavy-duty locking ring and an industrial-grade rubber seal to maintain a completely airtight enclosure under full fluid weights.

  • Modular Structural Spare Kit: Supplying an interchangeable spare configuration to keep high-frequency commercial testing operations working continuously.

Application

• • Used for routine laboratory calculation of the Specific Gravity of clays, fine sands, and small gravel aggregates.

  • Critical for compiling structural soil classification indexes, void ratio models, and degree-of-saturation profiles.

  • Deployed widely across aggregate testing sites, concrete batching yards, private geotechnical engineering firms, and civil academic faculties.

Technical Specifications

• • Container Capacity Mass: 1 Kg standard configuration volume.

  • Maximum Material Aggregate Size: Suitable for particles smaller than 10 mm.

  • Cone Cap Material Composition: Heavy-duty machined industrial brass.
