A plot of Log(vapour pressure) vs Reciprocal temperature gave a slope of -3664.755 and an intercept of 9.438.

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship.

Log Vp (Pa) = -3664.755/Temp (K) + 9.438

Based on this equation, the Vapour pressure at 289.15K (25 °C) = 1.400E-03 Pa.

 A plot of Log(vapour pressure) vs Reciprocal temperature gave a slope of -3612.451 and an intercept of 8.876.

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship.

Log Vp (Pa) = -3612.451/Temp (K) + 8.876

Based on this equation, the Vapour pressure at 289.15K (25 °C) = 5.748E-04 Pa.

A plot of Log(vapour pressure) vs Reciprocal temperature gave a slope of -2431.748 and an intercept of 5.134.

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship.

Log Vp (Pa) = -2431.748/Temp (K) + 5,134

Based on this equation, the Vapour pressure at 289.15K (25 °C) = 9.426E-04 Pa.

The value from Run 3 was chosen to be the best estimate of vapour pressure since it was the most degassed sample.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item at 25 °C was calculated to be 9.4E-04 Pa.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item was determined using a vapour pressure balance as described in Method A.4 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC. The vapour pressure of the test item at 25 °C was calculated to be 9.4E-04 Pa, based on extrapolation of the Log (Vapour pressure) vs 1/Temperature plot from the sample subjected to the most degassing.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of the test item at 25 °C is 9.4E-04 Pa.
