Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2011-05-23
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids)
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.3 (Relative Density)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The density of the liquid is measured by a pycnometer made of glass with a close-fitting ground glass stopper with a capillary tube through it, so that air bubbles may escape from the apparatus. The device enables a liquid´s density to be measured accurately by reference to an appropriate working fluid using an analytical balance. The flask is weighed empty and full of a liquid whose specific gravity is desired, the specific gravity of the liquid can be then calculated.

Conclusions:
Using the pycnometer method, the density of tert-Butylperoxyneodecanoat (TBPND) was determined to be 0.898 g/cm³ at 20 ± 0.2 °C.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance tert-Butylperoxyneodecanoat (TBPND) (~98 % purity) was measured by a 25 mL pycnometer at temperature of 20 +/- 0.2 °C. The calculated result obtained indicated of a density of 0.898 g/cm³ for TBPND.
