• Large capacity design to minimize segregation effects.
• Lightweight polycarbonate construction.
• Transparent top for visual observations.

The Vacuum Pycnometer is a large capacity unit designed for use in determining the maximum specific gravity of bituminous paving mixtures.

The Pycnometer has a total volume of approximately 10 liters and will

conveniently handle samples of 6,000 grams to minimize segregation effects.The unit is constructed of lightweight polycarbonate, with the upper half being transparent for visual observations of the effects of the vacuum.
