TEST ITEM DESCRIPTION AND RESULTSFOR LIQUIDS:

By Pyknometer Method:

S. No.	Method Details		Observed Values
			1st Observation	2nd Observation
1	Guideline	OECD 109
2	Method	IS 4730 : 1994 (Reaffirmed 2010) –Method for Determination of Density of Liquids (First Revision)
3	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.
