The results of the tests on the determination of the density of the test item are given in Table 1.

The individual measurements were obtained with an accuracy of < 0.02 g/cm3.  According to the guideline, the density of the test item is given as the mean value.

Density of the Test Item

  Test 1 Test 2 Mean
Density [g/cm3] 1.29 1.288 1.29
Conclusions:
A gas comparison stereopycnometer was used for the determination of the density and relative density of 2-Benzoylbenzoic acid.

The density of the test item at 20ºC was 1.29 g/cm3 (1290 kg/m3).

The relative density was 1.29.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 109) study conducted with GLP certification, the test material (EC 201-612 -2) relative density was determined to be 1.29.

Description of key information
