Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.3 (Relative Density)
Version / remarks:
2008
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EPA OPPTS 830.7300 (Density / Relative Density / Bulk Density)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
oscillating densitimeter
Type:
relative density
Density:
1.12 other: dimensionless
Temp.:
20 °C
Conclusions:
The test item was found to have a relative density of 1.12 at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was the determination of the relative density of the test item according to: European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, A.3. Density of liquids and solids and OECD test guideline OECD 109 (2012) Density of liquids and solids and US EPA Product Properties Test Guideline OCSPP 830.7300.

For this method a mechanical oscillator, constructed in the form of a U-tube, is vibrated at its resonance frequency which depends on its mass. The resonance frequency changes if a sample is introduced into the tube. The frequency decreases, the period of oscillation T increases, with increasing mass.

The relative density of the test substance, at 20 °C (compared to water at 4 °C) was determined to be: 1.12.
