A pycnometer (from Greek: πυκνός (puknos) acceptation "dense"), aswell alleged pyknometer or specific force bottle, is a accessory acclimated to actuate the body of a liquid. A pycnometer is usually fabricated of glass, with a bound arena canteen admiration with a capillary tube through it, so that air bubbles may escape from the apparatus. This accessory enables a liquid's body to be abstinent accurately by advertence to an adapted alive fluid, such as baptize or mercury, application an analytic balance.
If the alembic is advised empty, abounding of water, and abounding of a aqueous whose specific force is desired, the specific force of the aqueous can calmly be calculated. The atom body of a powder, to which the accepted adjustment of belief cannot be applied, can aswell be bent with a pycnometer. The crumb is added to the pycnometer, which is again weighed, giving the weight of the crumb sample. The pycnometer is again abounding with a aqueous of accepted density, in which the crumb is absolutely insoluble. The weight of the displaced aqueous can again be determined, and appropriately the specific force of the powder.
There is aswell a gas-based appearance of a pycnometer accepted as a gas pycnometer. It compares the change in burden acquired by a abstinent change in a bankrupt aggregate absolute a advertence (usually a animate apple of accepted volume) with the change in burden acquired by the sample beneath the aforementioned conditions. The aberration in change of burden represents the aggregate of the sample as compared to the advertence sphere, and is usually acclimated for solid particulates that may deliquesce in the aqueous average of the pycnometer architecture declared above, or for absorptive abstracts into which the aqueous would not absolutely penetrate.
When a pycnometer is abounding to a specific, but not necessarily accurately accepted volume, V and is placed aloft a balance, it will apply a force
F_b = g(m_b - \rho_a{m_b\over \rho_b})
where mb is the accumulation of the canteen and g the gravitational dispatch at the area at which the abstracts are getting made. ρa is the body of the air at the ambient burden and ρb is the body of the absolute of which the canteen is fabricated (usually glass) so that the additional appellation is the accumulation of air displaced by the canteen of the canteen whose weight, by Archimedes Principle accept to be subtracted. The canteen is, of course, abounding with air but as that air displaces an according bulk of air the weight of that air is canceled by the weight of the air displaced. Now we ample the canteen with the advertence aqueous e.g. authentic water. The force exerted on the pan of the antithesis becomes:
F_w = g(m_b - \rho_a{m_b\over \rho_b} + V\rho_w - V\rho_a)
If we decrease the force abstinent on the abandoned canteen from this (or tare the antithesis afore authoritative the baptize measurement) we obtain.
Fw,n = gV(ρw − ρa)
where the subscript n adumbrated that this force is net of the force of the abandoned bottle. The canteen is now emptied, thoroughly broiled and refilled with the sample. The force, net of the abandoned bottle, is now:
Fs,n = gV(ρs − ρa)
where ρs is the body of the sample. The arrangement of the sample and baptize armament is:
SG_A = {gV(\rho_s - \rho_a) \over gV( \rho_w - \rho_a)} = {( \rho_s - \rho_a) \over ( \rho_w - \rho_a)}
This is alleged the Credible Specific Gravity, denoted by subscript A, because it is what we would access if we took the arrangement of net weighings in air from an analytic antithesis or acclimated a hydrometer (the axis displaces air). Note that the aftereffect does not depend on the arrangement of the balance. The alone claim on it is that it apprehend linearly with force. Nor does SGA depend on the absolute aggregate of the pycnometer.
Further abetment and assuredly barter of SGV, the accurate specific force (the subscript V is acclimated because this is generally referred to as the specific force in vacuo), for ρs/ρw gives the accord amid credible and accurate specific gravity.
SG_A= {{\rho_s \over \rho_w}-{\rho_a \over \rho_w} \over 1 - {\rho_a \over \rho_w}} ={SG_V-{\rho_a \over \rho_w} \over 1 - {\rho_a \over \rho_w}}
In the accepted case we will accept abstinent weights and wish the accurate specific gravity. This is begin from
SG_V = SG_A - {\rho_a \over \rho_w }(SG_A-1)
Since the body of dry air at 101.325 kPa at 20 °C is7 0.001205 g/cm3 and that of baptize is 0.998203 g/cm3 we see that the aberration amid accurate and credible specific gravities for a actuality with specific force (20°C/20°C) of about 1.100 would be 0.000120. Where the specific force of the sample is abutting to that of baptize (for archetype adulterate booze solutions) the alteration is even smaller.
The pycnometer is acclimated in ISO standard: ISO 1183-1:2004, ISO 1014–1985 and ASTM standard: ASTM D854.
