PrintMethod description
Density is the measure of the weight per unit volume of solid or liquid samples. Bulk Density measures the apparent density of powders and particulates that include the air voids in the bulk sample. Displacement Density measures the density of the particles excluding void spaces.
Acceptable matrices
Solids
Equipment
Graduated Cylinder
Method reference
Internally developed method
Reportable unit
g/cc
Sample size requirements
250 cc
Information required by submitter
Specify either bulk density or displacement density for powdered or granular samples.
Additional information
Specific Gravity of liquids is determined by recording the weight in grams of a known volume of liquid in one cubic centimeter (cc) and is therefore reported in units of grams/cc.
Common Density Test Testing Questions
While our sales and customer service team are happy to answer general testing questions, consultations typically start at a rate of $250 per 30 minutes regarding the interpretation of reported test results or questions about our test methods. We cannot consult on regulations, tolerance limits, or claims.
We make every effort to keep our methods and detection limits up to date according to the latest standards and qualifications. If you have any questions regarding the limit of detection/quantification or method references, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-245-5615.
Our standard turnaround time is 10 business days for most assays. There are some assays that require a longer turnaround time. We also offer a RUSH service that is half the time of the standard turnaround time of the assay at double the cost of the assay. A few assays that we provide cannot be rushed due to the nature of the test. Please check the specific assay you are interested in regarding the ability to RUSH the turnaround time.
