Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Executive summary:

The purpose of the test was the determination of the relative density according to Guideline 92/69/EEC Part A.3. Relative Density using theAir comparison pycnometer (for solids) method. Study conducted in compliance with GLP.

 

The density of a solid in any form can be measured at room temperature with the gas comparison pycnometer. The volume of a substance is measured in air or in an inert gas in a cylinder of variable calibrated volume. For the calculation of density one mass measurement is taken after concluding the volume measurement,

 

Instrument: gas comparison pycnometer, model 930 (Beckmann).

The relative density (compared to water at 4°C) is DR4= 1.49

 

Description of key information
