Result

The density of the test item was calculated to be 1.129 g/cm3. The experiments were performed at 20 °C. Therefore, the value corresponds to the relative density (D420) of the test item. For details see Table 1.

In conclusion, the relative density (D420) of the test item at 20 °C was determined to be 1.129 ± 0.0034 (95 % confidence interval).

Executive summary:

A study according OECD 109 and EU Method A.3 was performed in order to determine the relative density of the test item. The test item was analysed in its initial form, using an air comparison pycnometer. The mass and volume were measured at 20 °C and the mean of five measurements was reported. Average density of the test item was calculated to be 1.129 g/cm³. The relative density (D420) of the test item at 20 °C was determined to be 1.129 ± 0.0034 (95 % confidence interval).

Description of key information

Using the air comparison pycnometer method, the relative density of the test item at 20 °C was determined to 1.129 ± 0.0034 (95 % confidence interval).
