Principle of method



The density of test item is determined by using pyknometer. It is the ratio of mass of the unit volume of test item at a stated temperature to mass of the same volume of gas free distilled water at a stated temperature.

Conclusions:
The mean density of test chemical was determined to be 2.17 g/cm3 at 20°C and 976.6 hPa.
Executive summary:

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the Adapted from ASTM D854-02 using glass pyknometer. The mean density of test chemical was determined to be 2.17 g/cm3 at 20°C and 976.6 hPa.

Description of key information

The mean density of test chemical was determined to be 2.17 g/cm3 at 20°C and 976.6 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
2.17

Additional information

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the Adapted from ASTM D854-02 using glass pyknometer. The mean density of test chemical was determined to be 2.17 g/cm3 at 20°C and 976.6 hPa.


Other supporting study from authoritative database suggests that the density of test chemical was estimated to be 1±0.06 g/cm3  at 20 degree C.
