Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study

The last inspection of the used thermometer showed a deviation of -0.3°C compared with the certificated reference thermometer. After calculation of the deviation (-0.3°C) of the thermometer following values were yields:

Values Main Study of the melting range

Melting range

End

First determination

43.0 °C (316.2 K)

45.2 °C (318.4 K)

Second determination

42.8 °C (316.0 K)

45.1 °C (318.3 K)

The means between both determinations give the following values for the melting range:

Melting range:                              42.9 to 45.2 °C (316.1 to 318.4 K)

Standard deviation:                     0.1 (begin); 0.1 (end)

Estimated accuracy:                    ± 0.2 °C

Conclusions:
The means between both determinations give the following values for the melting range:
Melting range: 42.9 to 45.2 °C (316.1 to 318.4 K)
Executive summary:

The determination of the melting point was performed in duplicate. In both determinations, a melting range was detected.The melting range was determined as 42.9 to 45.2 °C (316.1 to 318.4 K)

 

These values are the means from two independent determinations.

Description of key information

In a GLP study according to OECD TG 102, The melting range was determined as  42.9 to 45.2 °C (316.1 to 318.4 K)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
44 °C

Additional information

In a GLP study according to OECD TG 102, The melting range was determined as 42.9 to 45.2 °C (316.1 to 318.4 K).

These values are the means from two independent determinations.

Key value indicated is the mean value between the two range limits.
