Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mean reference cell volume: 90.663 cm3

Mean sample cell volume: 148.792 cm3

As the reference cell volume and sample cell volume were within the defined tolerance (90.953 ± 1.0 cm3 and 149.225 ± 1.0 cm3  for the reference and sample cell volumes respectively) the gas comparison pycnometer was therefore considered acceptable for use.

Temperature: 20.0 ± 1.0 °C             

 

Discussion

Duplicate determinations were performed to ensure a reproducibility of less than ± 20 kg/m3 was obtained.

Conclusion

The density of the test item has been determined to be 1.47E03 kg/m3 at 20.0 ± 1.0 °C;

relative density: 1.47.
