1.0 Specifications Description:
Gas Pycnometer
Quantity: 1
Unit Type: Each
Minimum Requirements:
• A gas pycnometer instrument is required for density measurement of biochar and similar samples, which are solid phase and porous (as opposed to gas or liquids).

• Instrument must be compatible with samples that have consistency of granules, small fragments, of very fine powders.
• Instrument must be able to measure samples occupying physical volume on the order of magnitude between 10 to 100 cubic centimeters.
• Instrument must have precise temperature control through thermoelectric (Peltier) or comparable means.
• Instrument must come with regulators for inert gas measurement environment (for example, helium, nitrogen, argon); regulator must be two-stage with isolation valve and compatibility with off-the-shelf fittings (for example, Swagelok)
• Instrument must come with all necessary software for collecting, analyzing, and exporting measurement data, and any associated licenses and cables for interfacing with IT hardware.
