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 o
C 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 o
C 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 o
C or required temperature.
CALCULATION:
