Table 1 shows the determined volume of the pycnometer. The results of the test for the determination of the density of the test item are given in Table 2.

The individual measurements were obtained with a deviation of ≤ 0.01 g/cm3. According to the guideline, the density of the test item is given as the mean value.

Conclusion

A pycnometer was used for the determination of the density and relative density of N-ethylcaprolactam.

The density of the test item at 20°C was 0.987 g/cm3 (0.987 × 103 kg/m3).

The relative density was 0.987.
