Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Density:

Temp.:
20 °C

The volume of a sample of this solid with 15.0178 and 18.9344 g (3.1288 and 3.9457 cm³ , respectively) was measured in helium in a calibrated cylinder.

Two independent measurements were performed at 29.2 °C with following results: 4.7999; 4.7987 g*cm-3. The mean value was : 4.806·g*cm-3 (corrected to 20°C).

The density at 20 °C was determined to be of 4.806 g*cm-3 (=4806 kg*m-3) and the relative density is 4.806.

Conclusions:
density: 4.806 g/cm³
Executive summary:

The density of iron sulfide was determined accroding to OECD 109 and EEC A.3 at 29.2°C with two replicates using a helium pygnometer. The density at 20 °C was determined to be of 4.806 g*cm-3 (=4806 kg*m-3) and the relative density is 4.806.

The obtained value is considered relevant and reliable.

Description of key information

4.806 g/cm3

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
4.806

Additional information

The density of FeS was determined in a non-GLP Klimisch 1 key study (Paß 2011) according to methods OECD 109 and EEC A.3 at 29.2 °C using a helium pygnometer. The results were corrected for 20°C. The density was determined to be of 4.806 g*cm-3(=4806 kg*m-3). The corresponding relative density is 4.806.

The obtained values are considered relevant and reliable.
