The mean density of liquid test chemical is determined by recording weights of empty pycnometer and apparent weight of test chemical and water at required test temperature of 20 °C with respective atmospheric pressure. The density is calculated using Buoyancy correction value. The readings are taken in replicate and mean density is reported.
