Conclusions:
A pycnometer was used for the determination of the density and relative density of 4,4'-(4-methylpentane-2,2-diyl)bis((heptyloxy)benzene).
The density of the test item at 20ºC was 0.952 g/cm3 (0.952 x 10^3 kg/m3).
The relative density was 0.952.
Executive summary:

The density (ρ) and relative density (20 4 D ) of the test item were determined using a pycnometer with a volume of 10 mL. The density of the test item was calculated from the difference in weight between the full and empty pycnometer and its volume. The volume of the pycnometer was determined first. The pycnometer was weighed empty. Then it was filled with water, dried on the outside and weighed again. The temperature of the water was measured. The procedure was performed in duplicate. The mean volume of the pycnometer was calculated. The pycnometer was filled with test item, dried on the outside and weighed. The temperature of the test item was measured. The test was performed in duplicate. The mean density and relative density of the test item were determined. Measurements were performed at 20.0 ± 0.5°C. Weightings were performed on an analytical balance with an accuracy of 0.1 mg. The test item was protected from light.

The density of the test item at 20ºC was 0.952 g/cm3 (0.952 x 10^3 kg/m3).

The relative density was 0.952.
