Conclusions:
Density was calculated as 1.8178 ± 0.0008 g/cm³ at 20.0 ± 0.2°C.
Executive summary:

The density of the test item determined by pycnometer method was calculated as 1.8178 ± 0.0008 g/cm³ at 20.0 ± 0.2°C, which is the mean of two values. Precision of the value is given as maximal error of a single determination. Standard deviation was 0.0021 g/cm³, showing good correlation of the two determinations. Therefore, the study is considered valid.

The relative density of the test item has the same number value, but no unit, assuming that relative density is given as the ratio of test item density to density of water at 4°C, having a standard density of 0.999975

g/cm³ (source: CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Pyhsics - 90th edition / Section 6 - Fluid properties - p.6 -7).
