Evaluation

The density of a pigment may be determined by the pycnometer method at a standard temperature of 25 °C using kerosene as immersion liquid. The detailed procedure may be found in ISO 787­10 and ASTM D153.

Many pigments are tested disregarding air entrapment on the par­ticle surfaces or in the voids between the particles. The mass (in g) of 1 cm3 of the pigment after tamping in a tamping volumeter under prescribed conditions is referred to as its apparent density.

It depends on the true density, shape and size of the particle. Infor­mation on tamped volume determination is in ISO 787-11.
