Summary The densities of triglyceride oils and their esters have been determined by the Falling Drop Method to within ±0.0003 when the behavior of two drops is compared and to ±0.0002 when only one drop is employed. Triolein and methyl erucate have been used as reference materials and solutions of ethanol in water as media. Errors due to variation in temperature have been analyzed for the systems and apparatus employed.
