When temps are standard, ie in the ISA, Press alt = density alt.

Defn we were given was -- Density alt is press alt corrected for non standard temp.

So given the press alt and temp you can calculate an approx density alt, In the lower levels of atmosphere from memory it was approx 120' / *C above or below standard temp at the particular press alt.
