- Mean reference cell volume : 90.860 cm³ Mean sample cell volume : 148.981 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: 1.68 x 10³ kg/m³

- Relative density : 1.68

- Temperature : 20.0 ± 0.5 °C

- Duplicate determinations were performed to ensure a reproducibility of less than ± 20 kg/m³ was obtained.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the density of the test material has been determined to be 1.68 x 10³ kg/m³ at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C with a relative density of 1.68.
Executive summary:

The density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 109 and EU Method A.3, under GLP conditions.

The testing was performed using a pycnometer, duplicate determinations were performed to ensure a reproducibility of less than ± 20 kg/m³ was obtained.

In calibration, 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.

Under the conditions of this study the density of the test material has been determined to be 1.68 x 10³ kg/m³ at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C with a relative density of 1.68.

Description of key information

Additional information

The density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 109 and EU Method A.3, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

The testing was performed using a pycnometer, duplicate determinations were performed to ensure a reproducibility of less than ± 20 kg/m³ was obtained.

In calibration, 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.

Under the conditions of this study the density of the test material has been determined to be 1.68 x 10³ kg/m³ at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C with a relative density of 1.68.
