pycnometern.

Brit.

/pɪkˈnɒmᵻtə/, U.S.

/pɪkˈnɑmədər/

Forms: 1800s– pycnometer, 1800s– pyknometer.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: pycno- comb. form, -meter comb. form².

Etymology: < pycno- comb. form + -meter comb. form². Compare German Pyknometer (1860 or earlier).

Science.

A container used for finding the relative density of a liquid by measuring its weight when filled with the liquid and comparing it with the weight when filled with water.Ostwald pycnometer: see Ostwald n. 2.
