What is BS 733-2- Methods for calibration and use of pyknometers about?

BS 733 discusses Pyknometers. BS 733-2 is the second part of the BS 733 multi-series and discusses the methods for calibration and use of pyknometers.

BS 733-2 describes the methods for calibrating each of the five types of pyknometers specified in BS 733 part 1.

Note: The type 5 (Hubbard) pycnometer flask is the only type covered by BS 733-2, which is suitable for use with solids and semi-solids.

Who is BS 733-2 - Methods for calibration and use of pyknometers for?

BS 733-2 on methods for calibration and use of pyknometers is useful for:

Pyknometers manufacturers/suppliers
Testing laboratories
Quality control personnel
Inspection personnel

Why should you use BS 733-2- Methods for calibration and use of pyknometers?

A pyknometer is a stainless-steel pressure vessel that is used to calibrate crude oil density meters. Pyknometry gives direct verification of the density meter's reading, and so enables very accurate calibration of the instrument in-situ.

BS 733-2 provides you with the general procedure for using the pyknometers, and methods for the calculation of sample densities and measurement of the apparent mass in air of liquid in bulk. BS 733-2 helps you to calibrate pyknometers assuring accurate readings.
