Table 1 – Measured vapour pressures and corresponding temperatures

Temperature [°C]	Vapour pressure [hPa]
71	4.2E-05
80	1.0E-05
90	4.9E-06
100	5.8E-06
110	5.1E-06
120	1.1E-05

 

Discussion: Data points measured at 71 and 80 °C were excluded in the evaluation because the showed a typical deviation caused by volatile impurities at the beginning of a measurement. As the test did not yield vapour pressure sufficiently high to extrapolate to 20, 25, and 50 °C, these values were estimated using the Antoine equation (Eq. 1).

For constant C, a value of 273.15 was assumed and for constant B a value of -5000 was assumed. The vapour pressure at the highest measurement point (120 °C) was used for the calculation since all others were below the detection limit (1.0E-05 hPa). Constant A in the Antoine equation (Eq.1) was calculated:

A = log (1.0E-05) – [-5000/(273.15 + 120)] = 7.72

The vapour pressure at 20, 25 and 50 °C can then be calculated: log p = 7.72 + [-5000/(273.15 + T)]

Table 2 – Calculated vapour pressures from experimental data

T [°C]	p [hPa]	p [Pa]
20	< 4.6E-10	< 4.6E-08
25	< 8.9E-10	< 8.9E-08
50	< 1.8E-08	< 1.8E-06

This is a conservative estimation of the vapour pressure of the test item for the listed temperatures.
