e-SPRESSO Webinar: Big Density Results from Small Samples
Many industries face constraints such as limited material availability, high costs, or the need to minimize waste. Despite these challenges, advanced gas pycnometry instruments make it possible to obtain optimal density results for solids, semi-solids, slurries, and other advanced materials without compromise. This Webinar explores how to achieve precise and reliable solid density measurements using minimal sample amounts.
Key discussion points include:
- Why sample size matters: Common reasons for working with limited quantities in research, quality control, and production.
- Choosing the right technology: How micro-volume density meters ensure accuracy with small samples.
- Sample handling best practices: Reducing errors from evaporation, contamination, or improper filling.
- Real-world applications: Case examples where reliable density data was achieved with less than 0.1 cm3 of sample.
