Type:
density
Density:
0.923 g/cm³
Remarks on result:
other: room temperature
Conclusions:
The density of menhaden oil at room temperature is 0.923+-0.006 g/cm³.
Executive summary:

In this literature report by Wan et al. 2011 the density of menhaden oil was determined by weighing using a 25 mL glass measuring cylinder. The density was determined in triplicate at room temperature and a value of 0.923 +- 0.006 g/cm³ is reported.

Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The density of the unrefined oils was determined in triplicate using a 25 mL glass measuring cylinder at 25°C. The sample was filled to 25 mL, the weight to volume ratio determined, and density values reported as g per mL.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
other: weighing
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Unrefined menhaden fish oil extracted using a rendering process was obtained from a commercial source (Aylesworth‘s Fish&Bait, Inc, St. Petersburg, FL).
Type:

Temp.:
25 °C
Conclusions:
The density of menhaden oil at 25 °C is 0.92+-0.02 g/cm³.
Executive summary:

In this literature report the determination of the density of menhaden oil by weighing using a 25 mL glass measuring cylinder is described. The density was determined in triplicate at 25 °C and a value of 0.92 +- 0.02 g/cm³ is reported.

Description of key information

Two studies report comparable values for the density of menhaden oil measured by weighing. The density of menhaden oil is ca. 0.92 g/cm³ at room temperature.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.92
