Nor does RD A depend on the actual volume of the pycnometer.
The particle density of a powder, to which the usual method of weighing cannot be applied, can also be determined with a pycnometer.
The powder is added to the pycnometer, which is then weighed, giving the weight of the powder sample.
The pycnometer is used in ISO standard: ISO 1183-1:2004, ISO 1014–1985 and ASTM standard: ASTM D854.
