no pressure reported, but ambient pressure is assumed.

Conclusions:
A differential thermoanalysis method (DTA) was used to determine the transition temperatures of the substance. The melting temperature was 178 °C (Peak of DTA - endotherm), and the begin of decomposition was at 151.5 °C.
Executive summary:

A differential thermoanalysis method (DTA) was used to determine the transition temperatures of the substance. The melting temperature was 178 °C (Peak of DTA - endotherm), and the begin of decomposition was at 151.5 °C.
