Conclusions:
The relative density (compared to water at 4 °C) is DR4= 1.29
Executive summary:

The purpose of the test was the determination of the relative density according to Guideline 92/69/EEC of 31 July 1992, Annex. Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties. A.3. Relative Density. The study was conducted in compliance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (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= 1.29

Description of key information
