Gas pycnometry is a technique used to determine the density of solids. The method involves filling a container with an inert gas such as helium at a known pressure, then measuring the volume of gas displaced by the solid material. By using the ideal gas law, the density of the solid can be calculated. Gas pycnometry is commonly used in the production and characterization of powders, ceramics, metals, and polymers.
