TEST CHEMICAL DESCRIPTION AND RESULTS:

Method Details		Observations		Remarks if, any
Guideline	OECD 109	1^stReading	2^nd Reading
Method	Adapted from ASTM D854-02
Principle of method	The density of test item is determined by using pyknometer. It is the ratio of mass of the unit volume of test item at a stated temperature to mass of the same volume of gas free distilled water at a stated temperature.
Test temperature (°C)	-	20	20
Density of water at test temperature; g/cm^3(ρtw)		0.9982	0.9982
Atmospheric pressure (in hPa)	-	978.1	978.1
Weight of empty dry pyknometer (Wp)		29.224	30.949
Weight of pyknometer filled with water (WA)		78.604	81.264
Weight of pyknometer + test Item (WPS)		34.230	35.910
Weight of pyknometer +test Item+ water (WB)		78.099	80.118

*ρat=density of air at 27°C and 760 mm Hg pressure= 0.001168 g/cm³

**Density of water referred from the Table 1 of the IS method.
