Pour density:

- Weight: 30.0 g

- Volume: 53 cm^3

- 566.2 kg/m^3

Tapped density:

- Weight: 30.0 g

- Volume: 41 cm^3

- 732.0 kg/m^3

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test material was found to have a bulk tap density of 732.0 kg/m^3.
Executive summary:

The density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 109, using the pour and tap method.

A known weight of the solid material was placed in a glass graduated cylinder and its volume measured to determine the ‘pour density.’ The cylinder is then raised and allowed to fall vertically through a distance of 25 mm on a rubber pad 50 times. The volume was measured again to determine the ‘tap density'.

Under the conditions of this study, the test material was found to have a bulk tap density of 732.0 kg/m^3.
