Mean reference cell volume : 90.966 cm3

Mean sample cell volume : 149.190 cm3

As the reference cell volume and sample cell volume were within the defined tolerance (90.953 ± 1.0 cm3 and 149.225 ± 1.0 cm3 for the reference and sample cell volumes respectively) the gas comparison pycnometer was therefore considered acceptable for use.

Mean density : 2.38 x103kg/m3

Relative density : 2.38

Temperature : 20.0 ± 0.5 °C

Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 2.38 x10^3 kg/m^3 at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C and a relative density of 2.38.
Executive summary:

Density. 2.38 x 103 kg/m3 at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, relative density of 2.38, using a gas comparison pycnometer, designed to be compatible with Method A.3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 109 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 02 October 2012.
