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

Discussion

Duplicate determinations were performed to ensure a reproducibility of less than ± 20 kg/m3 was obtained.

Conclusion

The density of the test substance has been determined to be 959 kg/m3 at 19.0 ± 0.5 °C and a relative density of 0.960.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the relative density of the test substance was determined to be 0.960 at 19°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the density of the test substance using pyconmeter method, according to the OECD Guideline 109. Under the study conditions, the relative density of the test substance was determined to be 0.960 at 19°C (Envigo, 2019).

Description of key information

The density of the test substance was determined using the pyconmeter method, according to OECD Guideline 109 (Envigo, 2019).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
