Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
- bulk density
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Weighing of a defined volume of the test material
- GLP compliance:

- Type of method:
- other: weighing
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- The density was determined in triplicate using a 25 mL glass measuring cylinder and density values reported as g per cm3.
- Type:
- density
- Density:
- 0.923 g/cm³
- Remarks on result:
- other: room temperature
- Conclusions:
- The density of menhaden oil at room temperature is 0.923+-0.006 g/cm³.
- Executive summary:
In this literature report by Wan et al. 2011 the density of menhaden oil was determined by weighing using a 25 mL glass measuring cylinder. The density was determined in triplicate at room temperature and a value of 0.923 +- 0.006 g/cm³ is reported.
- Endpoint:
- bulk density
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The density of the unrefined oils was determined in triplicate using a 25 mL glass measuring cylinder at 25°C. The sample was filled to 25 mL, the weight to volume ratio determined, and density values reported as g per mL.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- other: weighing
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Unrefined menhaden fish oil extracted using a rendering process was obtained from a commercial source (Aylesworth‘s Fish&Bait, Inc, St. Petersburg, FL).
- Type:
- density
- Density:
- 0.92 g/cm³
- Temp.:
- 25 °C
- Conclusions:
- The density of menhaden oil at 25 °C is 0.92+-0.02 g/cm³.
- Executive summary:
In this literature report the determination of the density of menhaden oil by weighing using a 25 mL glass measuring cylinder is described. The density was determined in triplicate at 25 °C and a value of 0.92 +- 0.02 g/cm³ is reported.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Relative density at 20C:
- 0.92
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
