Analysis of the density of solids

The analysis of the density of solids allows us to determine the ratio between the mass of a material and its volume, expressed in g/cm³ or kg/m³. It is a fundamental parameter for the characterization of materials, quality control and formulation, particularly in the fields of polymers, composites, construction materials, packaging, animal nutrition and even agri-food.

Several methods can be used depending on the nature of the sample: liquid displacement method (pycnometry), hydrostatic weighing (Archimedes' principle), or gas measurement (helium pycnometry) for porous solids. This analysis makes it possible to assess compactness, apparent porosity or compliance with a manufacturing standard.

The types of solids analyzed include: plastics, elastomers, composites, natural materials, tablets, compacted foods, briquettes, etc.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a rigorously selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the analytical techniques or methods required.
If you have any specific requirements, please do not hesitate to specify them when submitting your request: our scientific team makes every effort to respond accurately and responsively.
Since 2020, many manufacturers, distributors, and design offices have trusted us to manage their analyses, entrusting us with their samples via our digital platform.
