The density of the test item was determined from five replicates at 20°C. The results are given in Table 1.

Table 1: Results of density measurments

 Sample Number  Sample mass [g]  Sample volume, [cm3]  Density of test item [g/cm3]
 1 1.6955 1.1502 1.4741
 2 1.2660 0.8569 1.4774
 3 1.2811  0.8737  1.4664
 4 1.2675  0.8397  1.5094
 5 1.2747  0.8737 1.4590
  Mean: 1.4773 
  Confidence interval (95%): 0.024
  RSD (CV%):  1.3
Conclusions:
The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.4773 ± 0.024 (95 % confidence interval) at 20°C.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the relative density of test item using the pycnometer method according to OECD TG 109, EU Method A.3 and EPA OPPTS 830.7300. The density is calculated from the difference in weight between the full and empty pycnometer and its known volume. The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.4773 ± 0.024 (95 % confidence interval) at 20°C.

Description of key information
