Reference
Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to a method listed in internationally recognised guidelines, but without detailed documentation. The test substance is adequately identified. Therefore validation applies with restrictions.
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids)
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.3 (Relative Density)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
oscillating densitimeter
Dynamic viscosity of test material:
no data
Type:

Density:
0.97 g/cm³
Temp.:
20 °C
Key result
Type:
relative density
Density:
0.972 other: relative density is dimensionless
Temp.:
20 °C

DENSITY at 20°C = 0.970 [g/cm3]

RELATIVE DENSITY d20/20 = 0.972

Conclusions:
The substance is less dense than water.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was determined using the oscillating densitymeter method (listed in OECD 109/EU A3 guideline).

The measurement was performed at 20°C.

The result, converted to relative density d20/20, was found as 0.972.

Description of key information

The substance is less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.972

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a method recommended in OECD/EC guideline, is available. Despite restrictions for lack of experimental details, it is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
