Conventional tap density analyzers obtain the volume of a material by lifting and dropping a graduated cylinder multiple times until the sample bed no longer compacts. This is a loud process that requires an operator to estimate the level on a graduated cylinder to the nearest tenth milliliter.
The GeoPyc emulates conventional tap density analyzers by applying a consistent force across a sample bed, while a chamber rotates. This process is quieter, faster, and yields higher repeatability. Transverse Axial Pressure (T.A.P.) refers to the manner in which the chamber rotates and agitates the sample while it is being compacted.
