AMI
DensiPyc 1000
True Density Analyser
- (4–60°C) temperature-controlled pycnometer, precise density.
- Integrated microbalance enables accurate weighing.
- PC-controlled automation records data automatically.
Key Features
The AMI DensiPyc Series stands apart from traditional gas pycnometers by combining smart automation, flexible configurations, and precision features that enhance both productivity and data quality.
• Automated Sample Chamber Sealing
The DensiPyc uses an automated mechanical sealing system that applies consistent sealing force and positioning for every measurement. This eliminates variability introduced by manual tightening and improves repeatability across users and test runs.
• Intelligent Reference Volume Management
Multiple internal reference volumes are integrated into the system. During analysis, the software automatically selects the optimal reference configuration based on the installed sample cell, minimizing dead volume effects and improving volumetric accuracy across different sample sizes.
• Optional In-Situ Automatic Weighing (B Models)
Select models feature an integrated microbalance that allows samples to be weighed directly inside the instrument. This eliminates external weighing steps, reduces handling errors, improves traceability, and streamlines the workflow from loading through final reporting.
• Temperature-Control Options (TC models)
For samples that are temperature-sensitive, the TC (Temperature Control) models offer precise thermal regulation from 4°C to 60°C via an integrated Peltier module. This ensures consistent conditions and repeatable results, even for challenging materials.
• Vacuum Degassing Options (V models)
For materials that require pre-treatment prior to analysis, the V (Vacuum Degassing) models provide integrated vacuum conditioning to remove residual gases or moisture from the sample. The system supports vacuum levels down to 10 kPa, improving sample consistency and measurement repeatability, while maintaining a streamlined, single-instrument workflow.
Software
The DensiPyc Series is designed not only for speed and convenience, but for laboratory-grade precision and data consistency. Its software environment combines guided workflows with automated data handling to minimize operator dependence while maintaining rigorous measurement control. This approach ensures reliable results in both routine quality control and advanced material characterization applications.
Fast Test Mode
The DensiPyc software includes predefined test routines that allow standardized measurements to be initiated with minimal parameter setup. This simplifies operation for routine quality control while maintaining consistent test conditions across operators and laboratories, making the system well suited for high-throughput environments.
Intuitive Data Processing & Reporting
Automated data processing and one-click report generation streamline result evaluation and documentation. Measurement data can be exported in common file formats, while built-in tools enable easy comparison of historical and batch-to-batch results to support process monitoring and trend analysis.

Good service, very helpful
We use Meritics for the PM service and installation of all our FlowCams . Megan has been coming to our site for a number of years. She is very efficient in her work, but most of all Megan is very helpful. We have had issues with one of instruments after the install and Megan did her utmost to try and solve it while on site, even though it wasn’t solved Megan has been in contact with the supplier of the instrument to try and solve this problem for us.

Superb and prompt service
I have used this company through the laboratory I work for frequently. We specialise in soil analysis, and Meritics were chosen as they have extensive knowledge of the instruments we use. We have several laser particle diffraction analysers with a service contract, and service is always very prompt and meticulous….

Good experience over two years
Meritics have covered the annual servicing of our Multisizer 4e instrument since we purchased it from them just over two years ago. The application scientist who performed the servicing was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful, happily answering a barrage of questions about how best to use and maintain the instrument. All my interactions with Meritics staff have been positive. I would happily recommend them.

Highly recommend Meritics for equipment purchases and aftercare services
After owning one of our instruments for over 8 Years which was purchased from Meritics, it suffered its first breakdown. Upon contacting Meritics, I was instantly put through to an engineer who was very helpful. Upon inspection of the manual, it was decided that it would be more cost effective to have a Meritics engineer visit. The Meritics staff were very communicative and kept me up to date.
Excellent Service
Lovely, friendly and extremely helpful. David and his team are always on call with advise and are very easy to work with and are always happy to help.

Professional, Customer-oriented, fast service
We had issues with one of the aperture tubes provided by Meritics on a Friday afternoon, while very pressed for a review deadline. Meritics handled our inquiries very fast and professionally and helped us out by shipping us their spare tube to use in the mean time free of charge, while we waited for our new tube to arrive. Communication was very pleasant.
