Mean reference cell volume: 90.844 cm3


Mean sample cell volume: 149.082 cm3


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

Mean density: 1.34 x 103 x kg/m3


Relative density: 1.34 


Ambient temperature: 21.0 ± 0.5°C

Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 1340 kg/m3 at 20.0 ± 0.5°C and the relative density has been determined to be 1.34.
Executive summary:



The density and relative density were determined to be 1.34 x 10 kg/m3 and 1.34, respectively, at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, using a gas comparison pycnometer, designed to be compatible with Method A.3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 109 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 02 October 2012.
