Description of key information

The density range of octane is 0.706 - 0.708 g/cm3

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The measurement of density or relative density of petroleum distillates by digital density meter is covered by method ISO 12185.

A range of 0.706 to 0.708 g/cm3 covers all possible grades within this substance description if measured with the agreed method. The conducted study by Haltermann Products (2010) with a measured the density 0.71 g/cm3 confirms this.
