The International

Pharmacopoeia, Fourth

Edition, 2014

 

 

 Principle of method

 Pour Density: It is the ratio

of known weight of test item

and its volume in graduated

glass cylinder.

Tap Density: It is the

difference between the

volume of test item

measured before & after

tapping in the graduated

glass cylinder.

Conclusions:
The density of test chemical was determined following OECD guideline 109 and according to the method recommended in the International Pharmacopoeia, fourth Edition, 2014 . The mean pour density and tapped density of the test chemical was determined to be 0.4882 g/cm³ and 0.7419 g/cm³ at 25°C and 964.65 hPa.
Executive summary:

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids) and according to the method recommended in the International Pharmacopoeia, fourth Edition, 2014 . The mean pour density and tapped density of the test chemical was determined to be 0.4882 g/cm³ and 0.7419 g/cm³ at 25°C and 964.65 hPa.
