Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Reference
Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
April 2005
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Study conducted to GLP and in compliance with agreed protocols, with no or minor deviations from standard test guidelines and/or minor methodological deficiencies, which do not effect the quality of the relevant results.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.3 (Relative Density)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
pycnometer method
Type:
relative density
Density:
0.7
Temp.:
20 °C

Calculation

The relative density was calculated using Equation 1 and Equation 2:

Equation 1: Density [kg/m³] = d(c - a)/(b-a)

where:

a = mass of pycnometer (g)

b = mass of pycnometer filled with water (g)

c = mass of pycnometer filled with test material (g)

d = density of water at test temperature (kg/m³)

Equation 2:Relative density =ρ/ρ(H2O, 4°C)

where:

ρ= density of test material (kg/m³)

ρ(H2O, 4°C) = density of water at 4°C (999.97 kg/m³)

Results

The results of the duplicate determinations (at 20°C) are shown in the following table:

Determination
1 2
Mass of pycnometer (g) 8.0557 7.9184
Mass of pycnometer and distilled water at 20.2°C (g) 17.6990 17.7586
Mass of pycnometer and test material at 20.4°C (g) 14.8256 14.8267
Density of water at 20.2°C (kg/m³) 998.16 998.16
Density (kg/m³) 700.74 700.76
Relative density  0.701 0.701

Mean relative density: 0.701

Temperature: 20.0 ± 0.5°C

Conclusions:
relative density: 0.701 at 20.0 ± 0.5°C
Executive summary:

The relative density was determined using the pycnometer method, EU Method A.3. The relative density of the test substance at 20.0 ± 0.5°C was 0.701 (arithmetic mean of two determinations).

Description of key information
