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 isobtained by dividing the mass ofmaterial by its volume.

Additional information

The density of test item was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the IS 4730 : 1994 (Reaffirmed 2010) – Method for Determination of Density of Liquids (First Revision) using pyknometer The mean density of test chemical was determined to 0.9781 g/cm³at 20°C and 976.7 hPa.

Other supporting data from another experimental report also determined the density of test chemical by the mass by volume method as 0.985 g/cm3 at room temperature of 37°C, closer to the selected key study value.
