Particle Characterization Information Essential in Helping Scientists Predict the Airborne Transport and Fallout of Volcanic Ash
The recent eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano and the subsequent massive shutdown of air traffic in Europe occupied the attention of travelers and worldwide news agencies for weeks. When the volcano first erupted in March, the world took little notice. However, on April 14, the volcano discharged a massive cloud of ash into the atmosphere. Concerned, European officials decided to close down a huge area of European airspace, completely interrupting air travel for days. The question that concerned European officials was whether there was a sufficient amount of volcanic ash in the atmosphere to cause damage to aircraft.

Micromeritics Customizes Materials Characterization Instrument Specifically for Drill Core Analysis
Micromeritics’ Custom Engineered Products group has recently designed a gas displacement pycnometer to address the specific needs of operations that need to know the pore volume of drilling cores. The popular AccuPyc II 1340 has been custom-engineered with a large sample chamber (a volume of approximately 2000 cm3) that can accommodate a 95 mm (3.74 inch) diameter core of up to 278 mm (10.9 inches) in length, thus improving sampling statistics by eliminating the need to run multiple analyses.

Combining Skeletal and Envelope Volume Measurements to Determine Total Pore Volume and Percent Porosity
The skeletal volume of a solid body excludes pores as well as the void spaces between particles. Envelope volume includes all pores and voids. While these measurements are each important on their own merit, their combination also allows one to accurately calculate percent porosity and total pore volume of a body. Micromeritics’ AccuPyc II 1340 Gas Pycnometer provides skeletal volume and density measurements on a wide variety of materials having volumes from 0.01 to 350 cm3. Micromeritics’ GeoPyc 1360 Pycnometer determines the envelope volume and density of monolithic samples as well as the bulk volume and density of powdered materials.
