Introduction: Why Pycnometers Are Essential in Laboratories
Measuring the density and specific gravity of liquids is a key part of analytical chemistry, quality control, and research. Pycnometers, also known as specific gravity bottles, are designed for precise determination of these values by holding a known volume of liquid at a controlled temperature.
LabChoice pycnometers are made from BORO 3.3 glass to ensure accuracy, chemical resistance, and long-term durability. Their clear calibration marks and ground glass stoppers make them suitable for high-precision laboratory work.
Applications of Pycnometers
- Analytical Chemistry: Determining the density of liquids and solutions.
- Food & Beverage Industry: Quality control testing of juices, oils, and syrups.
- Pharmaceutical Labs: Measuring density for formulation development and testing.
- Education: Teaching concepts of density and mass/volume relationships.
- Industrial QC: Ensuring batch consistency in chemical and materials production.
By providing accurate density measurements, pycnometers contribute directly to quality and compliance across multiple industries.
