The TQC Sheen Specific Gravity Cups, are also referred to as density cups or a pycnometer, are designed to provide accurate measurements of the density of a liquid.
Pycnometers are useful for accurately measuring the density or specific gravity of liquids and solids, making them essential tools in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, construction materials, and scientific research.
The TQC Sheen pycnometers are manufactured with great precision and from durable aluminum or stainless steel.
For liquids that most likely contain trapped air or gas bubbles, the TQC Sheen Pressure Density Cup is available.
In order to perform a pycnometer measurement well, one needs to read the appropriate ISO, DIN or ASTM standard and have a high quality and calibrated weighing scale and thermometer at hand.
Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use in a wide range of environments, including those with harsh chemicals or high humidity. This resistance ensures the longevity of the pycnometer and maintains its accuracy over time.
Durability: Stainless steel is known for its durability and strength. It can withstand rough handling and accidental impacts better than aluminum, reducing the risk of damage to the pycnometer during use or transportation.
Ease of Cleaning and Sterilization: Stainless steel surfaces are smooth and non-porous, making them easy to clean and sterilize. This feature is crucial in applications where cleanliness and hygiene are paramount, such as in pharmaceutical or food industries.
Chemical Compatibility: Stainless steel is compatible with a wide range of chemicals and solvents, making it suitable for use with various types of liquids or substances without the risk of chemical reactions or contamination.
While aluminum pycnometers may offer advantages such as lower cost or lighter weight, the superior durability, corrosion resistance, and thermal properties of stainless steel make it a preferred choice in many laboratory and industrial applications where precision and reliability are paramount.

Aluminum models are lighter and more cost-effective, making them suitable for general laboratory use. Stainless steel models offer superior durability, corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and ease of cleaning, which makes them ideal for harsh environments, pharmaceutical, or food applications where precision and hygiene are critical.
The TQC Sheen Pycnometers are available in 50 ml and 100 ml versions in either aluminum or stainless steel. Each model is supplied with a matching lid and a calibration certificate, ensuring accuracy from the first use.
Yes. To achieve accurate measurements with the TQC Sheen Pycnometer, you will need a high-quality, calibrated weighing scale and a thermometer to record sample temperature. It is also recommended to follow the relevant ISO, DIN, or ASTM standard for your specific application.
For liquids prone to containing air or gas bubbles, the TQC Sheen Pressure Density Cup is recommended. This specialized model allows accurate density measurements by preventing errors caused by entrapped air in the liquid.
