Results

The density of the test item determined two times with individually prepared samples. Since the relative deviation between two measurements was ≤ 0.5 % the quality criteria of the measurement were fulfilled. The obtained results are shown in the tables below.

Sample 1 mass: 9.5629 g

Sample 2 mass: 11.0908 g

The relative density (D420) of the test item was determined according to EC method A.3 and OECD 109. The mean relative density (D420) of the test item was determined to be 1.0875 relating to the nominal density of water at 4 °C (0.999972 g/cm3).    

Conclusions:
The relative density (D420) of the test item was determined according to EC method A.3 and OECD 109. The mean relative density (D420) of the test item was determined to be 1.0875 relating to the nominal density of water at 4 °C (0.999972 g/cm3).
Executive summary:

The gas comparison pycnometer method is suitable to determine the density of solids. A sample is weighed and placed in a calibrated measurement chamber of known volume. Helium is loaded at a known pressure in a calibrated reference chamber and is then expanded into the sample chamber. Once the pressure is stabilized, experimental data is recorded and the material volume is determined.

The relative density (D420) of the test item was determined according to EC method A.3 and OECD 109. The mean relative density (D420) of the test item was determined to be 1.0875 relating to the nominal density of water at 4 °C (0.999972 g/cm3).
