The Ultrapyc gas pycnometer determines the density of solids and semi-solids and monitors purity or porosity. Measurements take less than ten minutes, making them ideal for monitoring sample quality throughout the production process.
Anton Paar has combined decades of experience with groundbreaking innovation to create Ultrapyc, the most user-friendly semi-solid and solid density meter on the market. Ultrapyc makes measuring the density of solids, powders, battery materials, and personal care products easier and more precise.
Users can also link Ultrapyc to AP Connect, a paperless data transfer software that eliminates transcription errors and consolidates lab data into a single digital space.

Key Features
Harness Trupyc Technology for Accuracy in All Sample Cells

Ultrapyc’s numerous reference chambers prevent users from having a mismatched ratio between the space within the sample chamber and the volume of the reference chamber.
Ultrapyc’s chambers provide precise findings regardless of whether users have enough material to fill the smallest or largest sample cell. The instrument automatically selects and utilizes the appropriate reference chamber depending on the cell size.
Eliminate Contamination with Powderprotect Mode

With the standard “sample first” expansion orientation, users can continuously regulate the maximum pressure to which the sample is subjected during the measurement. Switching to PowderProtect mode reverses the sequence and avoids the chance of contaminating your instrument with fine powders or slurry vapors. The Ultrapyc 5000 series is the market's only semi-solid and solid density meter that can function in both directions.
Get Precise and Hassle-Free Temperature Control

Thanks to built-in Peltier control, external water baths for temperature control are no longer necessary. There is no need for an additional attachment, allowing users to preserve valuable laboratory space.
With temperature stability greater than +/-0.05 °C and the widest temperature range on the market (15 °C to 50 °C), users can get speedy temperature stabilization and dependable results for slurries, suspensions, gels, or any other material, regardless of the environmental conditions.
Use an Intuitive User Interface for Simple Instrument Control

Using Ultrapyc’s 7” touchscreen is similar to using a smartphone. Thanks to its user-friendly UI, users can stay up to date on the status of the measurements. They can also take measurements and view comprehensive results on the device, eliminating the need for an additional computer and saving valuable lab bench space.
Conduct Measurements with Disposable Cups for Hard-To-Clean Samples

Disposable aluminum cups improve the Ultrapyc series' ability to measure semi-solids. They significantly boost sample throughput and allow users to evaluate the density of curing materials and difficult-to-clean samples with a single application.
Connect Directly to Weighing Balances to Prevent Transcription Errors

Connecting the Ultrapyc directly to any balance via RS232 communication eliminates the possibility of transcription errors when entering data from an external balance.
