Assay No.	m1 (g)	m2 (g)	A (g)	ρ (g/mL)	Density oft he test item
1	59.8008	50.6119	0.06073428	0.998207	1.1792

where m₁, is the apparent mass, in grams, of the liquid needed to fill the pycnometer at the determination temperature, m₂,  is the apparent mass, in grams, of water needed to fill the pycnometer at the determination temperature, A, is the correction, in grams, due to the pressure of the air = ρa x m₂ where ρa is the density of the air = 0.0012 g/mL, and ρ, is the density, in grams per millilitre, of the water at the temperature of the determination.

Assay No.	Relative density of the test item at +20°C / +4°C
1	1.1792
2	1.1784

Density of water at +20 °C = 0.998207

Density of water at +4 °C = 0.999975

Conclusions:

The relative density of the test item at 20 °C was determined to be 1.179 ± 0.01.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to Directive 92/69/EEC method A.3 and OECD Guideline No. 109 (1995) to determine the relative density of the test item. The density was determined in two assays. Using the pycnometer method the density of the test item at 20 °C was determined to be 1.1792 g/cm³ and 1.1784 g/cm³, respectively, and the density of water at 20 °C was determined to be 0.998207 g/cm³. The mean relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.179 ± 0.01.

Description of key information

The relative density of the test item at 20 °C was determined to be 1.179 ± 0.01 (reference 4.4-1).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
