Method for Determination of

Density of Liquids (First Revision)

 

 

Principle of

Method

Determination of the mass at a given temperature of a volume of the material contained in a density

bottle (pyknometer) and determination of the volume of the

latter by determining the mass of the corresponding volume of water at the same temperature. The

density is obtained by dividing the mass of material by its volume.

Conclusions:
The density of test chemical was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the according to the Indian standard method for determination of density of liquids [IS 4730:1994 (Reaffirmed 2010)] using glass pyknometer. The mean density of the test item was found to be 0.9145 g/cm³ at 20.2°C and 971.5 hPa..
Executive summary:

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the according to the Indian standard method for determination of density of liquids [IS 4730:1994 (Reaffirmed 2010)] using glass pyknometer. The mean density of the test item was found to be 0.9145 g/cm³ at 20.2°C and 971.5 hPa..

Description of key information

The density of test item Dimethyloctadecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride (CAS No. 27668-52-6)was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the according to the Indian standard method for determination of density of liquids [IS 4730:1994 (Reaffirmed 2010)] using glass pyknometer. The mean density of the test item was found to be 0.9145 g/cm³ at 20.2°C and 971.5 hPa.

Additional information

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the according to the Indian standard method for determination of density of liquids [IS 4730:1994 (Reaffirmed 2010)] using glass pyknometer. The mean density of the test item was found to be 0.9145 g/cm³ at 20.2°C and 971.5 hPa..

Other supporting study from reliable source suggests that the density of chemical was reported to be 0.89 g/cm3 at 25 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 0.9145 g/cm3 at 20.2 degree C thus considered as key study for the chemical safety assessment.
