Pyknometer

A pyknometer is a tool used to measure the density of a material. The density of a material tells you how much of it is packed into a certain amount of space. To use a pyknometer, you place a material inside, fill it up with water, and then measure the amount of water it takes to fill it. From this measurement, you can figure out the density of the material.
