Any other information on results incl. tables

Calculation

The relative density was calculated using Equation 1 and Equation 2:

Equation 1: Density [kg/m³] = d(c - a)/(b-a)

where:

a = mass of pycnometer (g)

b = mass of pycnometer filled with water (g)

c = mass of pycnometer filled with test material (g)

d = density of water at test temperature (kg/m³)

Equation 2: Relative density =ρ/ρ(H2O, 4°C)

where:

ρ= density of test material (kg/m³)

ρ(H2O, 4°C) = density of water at 4°C (999.97 kg/m³)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
relative density: 0.780 at 20.0 ± 0.5°C
Executive summary:

The relative density was determined using the pycnometer method, EU Method A.3. The relative density of the test substance at 20.0 ± 0.5°C was 0.780 (arithmetic mean of two determinations).
