Density determination of plastic film using the AccuPyc 1330

The AccuPyc 1330 was used to determine the density of plastic film for a Micromeritics customer. This type of film is produced by extruding polyethylene beads through various types of machines. The quality of the extruded film greatly depends on the structure of the polyethylene beads and the amount of encapsulated air in them. Various polyethylene beads were analyzed, as were samples of extruded plastic film. Within ten minutes, the AccuPyc 1330 measured the true density of each sample, giving the customer a fast, accurate technique to predict processing properties and to guide the curing process.
