Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 1.23 x 10E3 kg/mE3 at 21.0 ± 0.5 °C.
.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using a gas comparison pycnometer, designed to be compatible with Method A3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 109 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

A reference cell with the defined volume (Vref) was pressurised to a typical pressure in the range 16 to 20 psi and the pressure recorded (p1). Following this, the volume of the sample cell was added to the system, resulting in a reduction in pressure, which was also recorded (p2). The volume calibration of the reference cell and the sample cell was confirmed using a stainless steel calibration ball with known volume (Vcal). The test procedure as outlined above was repeatedwith the sample cell containing the calibrated ball (pressure readings p3 and p4 for the upper and lower pressure values, respectively).

 

From these four pressure readings, the volume of the reference cell (Vref) and of the sample cell (Vcell) was calculated as outlined in data handling. The calibration was performed at least on each day of measurement. The temperature was monitored and recorded.

 

Both determinations were performed in triplicate.

   

Conclusion

The density of the test item has been determined to be 1.23 x 103 kg/m3at 21.0 ± 0.5 °C.
