Measurement

Density @ 15.56°C: 0.8283 g/mL / 0.8283 g/mL

Specific Gravity @ 15.56°C: 0.8291 / 0.8291

Conclusions:
A density value of 0.8283 g/cm³ at 15.56°C was determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered to be reliable.
Executive summary:

Octan-1-ol was determined according ASTM D4052. The density was determined to be 0.8283 g/cm³ at 15.56°C.

Description of key information

The density of octan-1-ol is 0.8283 g/cm3 at 15.6°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.828

Additional information

A density value of 0.8283 g/cm³ at at 15.6°C was determined for the substance using a digital density meter in accordance with ASTM D-4052 Test Method. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

It is supported by a value of 0.83 at 20 -25°C, taken from a reliable handbook, and various consistent results from other reference sources.

Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:

The relative density values are similar across the category. Values are consistently within the range 0.80 - 0.90 at ambient temperature.
