Method

Adapted from ASTM 854-02

 

 

 

Principle of method

The density of test item is determined by using pyknometer. It is the ratio of mass of the unit volume of test item at a stated temperature to mass of the same volume of gas free distilled water at a stated temperature.

Conclusions:
The density of chemical 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (CAS No. 99-52-5)was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the method adapted from ASTM D 854-02 using glass pyknometer. The mean density of chemical 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline was found to be 1.3092 g/cm³at 20°C and 972.2 hPa
Executive summary:

The density of chemical  2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (CAS No. 99-52-5)was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the method adapted from ASTM D 854-02 using glass pyknometer. The mean density of chemical  2-methyl-4-nitroaniline was found to be 1.3092 g/cm³at 20°C and 972.2 hPa

Description of key information

The density of chemical  2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (CAS No. 99-52-5)was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the method adapted from ASTM D 854-02 using glass pyknometer. The mean density of chemical  2-methyl-4-nitroaniline was found to be 1.3092 g/cm³at 20°C and 972.2 hPa

Additional information

The density of chemical  2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (CAS No. 99-52-5)was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the method adapted from ASTM D 854-02 using glass pyknometer. The mean density of chemical  2-methyl-4-nitroaniline was found to be 1.3092 g/cm³at 20°C and 972.2 hPa

Other supporting studies from various reliable sources such as authoritative database and handbooks,the density chemical 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline was determined to be 1.1586 g/cm3 at 140 degree C.

As the data from lab has K1 reliability and the test was performed using OECD guidelines which has the value of density as 1.3092 g/cm3 at 20 degree C thus considered as key study for the chemical safety assessment.
