Equation 1 (Calculation for the density of water)

Mass of water / volume of pycnometer = Density of water

 

Equation 2 (Calculation for the density of immersion liquid)

ρIL= (m1/ mw) x ρw,t

 

where:

m1is the mass of the immersion liquid

mwis the mass of water

ρw,t is the density of water at temperature t

 

Calculated value for the density of immersion liquid = 961 kg.m-3@ 20 °C

Equation 3 (Calculation for the density of the sample)

ρs,t = msρIL/ (m1– m2)

 

where:

msis the mass, in grams, of the sample;

m1is the mass, in grams, of the immersion liquid required to fill the empty pycnometer;

m2is the mass, in grams, of immersion liquid added to fill the pycnometer containing the sample;

ρILis the density of the immersion liquid (as determined by equation 2)

Conclusions:
Relative density (D204) 1.334
Sample density 1334 kg.m-3 @ 20°C
Executive summary:

The test is conducted to determine the relative density of a solid or liquid substance.

For solids or liquids, pycnometers of various shapes and with known volumes may be employed. The density is calculated from the difference in weight between the full and empty pycnometer and its known volume. The tests are run at a constant temperature, preferably 20°C, and at least two measurements are generally performed.

The test is conducted in accordance with the procedure described in EU Regulation (EC) 440/2008, Annex Part A test A3.
