Test methods: Pour density and tapped density of powders” recommended in

The International

Pharmacopoeia, Fourth

Edition, 2014

Principle of method

 

Pour Density:It is the ratio of known weight of test item and its volume in graduated glass cylinder.

Tap Density: It is the

difference between the

volume of test item

measured before & after

tapping in the graduated

glass cylinder.

Additional information

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD guideline 109 and according to the method recommended in the International Pharmacopoeia, fourth Edition, 2014.The mean pour density and tapped density of the test item was determined to be 0.4654 g/cm³ and 0.5481 g/cm³at 28.5°C and 967.0 hPa.

From other reliable sources, density of the test chemical was observed to be 0.982 g/cm3 at 25 Deg C.
