Determining the density of the immersion liquid:

Run number	1
Mass of empty pycnometer (g)	20.92
Temperature (°C)	20
Mass of water and pycnometer (g)	45.78
Mass of immersion liquid and pycnometer (g)	45.00
Calculated Density of water using equation 1 (g/cm3)	0.994
Calculated Density of immersion liquid using equation 2 (g/cm3)	0.963
Density of immersion liquid (kg/m3)	963

Equation 1 (Calculation for the density of water)

Mass of water/volume of pycnometer = density of water

Equation 2 (Calculation of density of immersion liquid)

rhoIL = (mIL/mW) x rhow,t

where:

mIL is the mass of immersion liquid

mw is the mass of water

rhow,t is the density of water at temperature t

Calculated value for the density of immersion liquid = 963 kg/m3 at 20°C

Determining the density of the sample:

Run Number	1	2
Mass of Empty Pycnometer (g)	20.92	20.92
Mass of Sample & Pycnometer (g)	31.14	30.10
Mass of Sample added to empty Pycnometer (g)	10.22	9.18
Mass of Sample, Pycnometer & immersion liquid	46.70	46.24
Mass of immersion liquid added (g)	15.56	16.14
Calculated Density of Sample (g/cm3)	1.155	1.114
Density of Sample (kg/m3)	1155	1114
Mean result (kg/m3)	1135

 

Equation 3 (Calculation for the density of sample)

rho s,t = m s rho IL/m1 - m2

Where m s is the mass, in grams, of the sample:

m1 is the mass, in grams, of immersion liquid required to fill the pycnometer;

m2 is the mass, in grams, of immersion liquid required to fill the pycnometer containing the specimen;

rho IL is the density of the immersion liquid (as determined by equation 1)

Conclusions:

The relative density of the substance was determined to be 1.135 at 20 °C.

Executive summary:

The relative density of the test item was determined according to EU Method A.3. by applying the pycnometer method. The relative density of the substance was determined to be 1.135 at 20 °C.
