Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the density of the test material was 1.0482 g/cm^3 (1048.2 kg/m^3) at 20 °C. The relative density (D4^20) was 1.0482.
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 109, under GLP conditions.

The procedure was performed using a pycnometer, the apparatus was calibrated with a ball of known volume from five sets of pressure measurements of an inert gas (helium). The ball was placed in a measuring cup in the instrument and the test chamber was sealed and charged with helium. The gas was then allowed to expand into a further chamber of known volume and the volume of the test chamber was calculated from the pressure data using the gas laws. The density of the test material was determined in a similar manner after the ball was replaced with test material. The sample density was calculated from the weight and volume. A mean average was calculated from the five runs performed.

Under the conditions of this study the density of the test material was 1.0482 g/cm^3 (1048.2 kg/m^3) at 20 °C. The relative density (D4^20) was 1.0482.

Additional information

The relative density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 109, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

The procedure was performed using a pycnometer, the apparatus was calibrated with a ball of known volume from five sets of pressure measurements of an inert gas (helium). The ball was placed in a measuring cup in the instrument and the test chamber was sealed and charged with helium. The gas was then allowed to expand into a further chamber of known volume and the volume of the test chamber was calculated from the pressure data using the gas laws. The density of the test material was determined in a similar manner after the ball was replaced with test material. The sample density was calculated from the weight and volume. A mean average was calculated from the five runs performed.

Under the conditions of this study the density of the test material was 1.0482 g/cm^3 (1048.2 kg/m^3) at 20 °C. The relative density (D4^20) was 1.0482.
