Mean reference cell volume   :          90.652 cm3

Mean sample cell volume       :          148.976 cm3

 

As the reference cell volume and sample cell volume were within the defined tolerance (90.953 ± 1.0 cm3and 149.225 ± 1.0 cm3for the reference and sample cell volumes respectively) the gas comparison pycnometer was therefore considered acceptable for use.

Executive summary:

The determination was carried with a gas comparison pycnometer, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A3 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.

Instrument                  :          Gas comparison pycnometer (Multi-Pycnometer, Quantachrome, Syosset, N.Y., USA).

Calibration Sphere(s) :          A stainless steel sphere with a calibrated volume (Vcal= 56.559).

 

Gas                             :          Helium.

 

Conditions                 :          All determinations were performed at 22.8 ± 0.5 °C.

Conclusion

The density of the test item has been determined to be 1.40 x 103kg/m3at 22.8 ± 0.5 °C, relative density 1.40.
