Method for Determination of Density of Liquids (First Revision)

3.                   

Principle of Method

Determination of the mass at a given temperature of a volume of the material contained in a density bottle (pyknometer) and determination of the volume of the latter by determining the mass of the corresponding volume of water at the same temperature. The density is obtained by dividing the mass of material by its volume.

Conclusions:
The density of test chemical was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the IS 4730 : 1994 (Reaffirmed 2010) – Method for Determination of Density of Liquids (First Revision) using glass pyknometer. The mean density of test chemical was determined to be 0.9661 g/cm³ at 20°C and 965.0 hPa.

Additional information

On the basis of available data from study report,the density of test chemical was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the IS 4730 : 1994 (Reaffirmed 2010) – Method for Determination of Density of Liquids (First Revision) using glass pyknometer. The mean density of test chemical was determined to be 0.9661 g/cm³ at 20°C and 965.0 hPa.

In a supporting studies from handbooks and authoritative database, the density of test chemical was determined to be 0.954 gm/cm3 at various temperatures i.e, 27.5°C, 25°C and 20°C, respectively.

Additional study from authoritative database indicates the density of test chemical as 0.9723 at 20°C.

In another study from authoritative database, the density of test chemical was determined to be 0.971 g/cm3.

From the available data from predicted database, the density of test chemical was estimated to be 0.940±0.06 g/cm3 at 20°C and 1013.25 hPa.
