Measuring Actual Styrofoam Volume
Measuring Actual Styrofoam Volume
(OP)
Hi ,
Is there an equipment or instrument on how to get the actual volume of a styro foam product?
We are qualifying styrofoam and one attributes is its density. Although we can get the weight by a scale. We need to know how can we get the volume to calculate the density.
We ddevised a handmade aquarium-like container and put water in it and submerged the styrofoam and check the displacement by referencing some graduationscales on the glass of the aquirium-like container.
But we are not convinved that this is accurate so we want to buy an equipent or instrument to measure the volume.
Pls help. Thanks.

The only other way I can see this being done is with a 3-D laser scanner system that would enter the external boundary of the object into some sort of CAD program that would then calculate the volume based on the input data.
