Determination of Relative Density

Authorized By

Prepared By

Page 1 of 1

SCOPE :

To find the relative density of the given substance. The density of the liquid is

the weight of a given volume of the cream at 25 oC or a temperature

mentioned in the individual monograph compared with the weight of an equal

volume of water at the same temperature.

REMARKS :

The weighing should be carried out for both sample and water at a same

temperature.

APPARATUS TO BE USED :

Bulk density cup. Balance.

REAGENTS:

NIL

PROCEDURE :

Weigh a clean and dry bulk density cup.

Calibrate the bulk density cup, by filling it with cooled water and take the

weight of the filled bulk density cup at 25 oC or required temperature.

Dry the bulk density cup and fill it with cooled sample and take the weight of

the bulk density cup filled with sample at 25 oC or required temperature.

CALCULATION:

Weight of sample at 25 oC

Bulk density at 25°C =--------------------------------

Weight of water at 25 oC
