The first measurement of the first series was a deviating value due to system instability and was not taken into account for the calculations. The results of the vapour pressure calculations are summarised in Table 1.

Measurement	Temperature		Mean vapour pressure ± 2 x calculated error [pa]
	[°C]	[K]	p	In p
4 – 19 22 – 32 33 – 47	37.93 32.76 25.96	311.08 305.91 299.11	1.156 ± 0.038 0.747 ± 0.005 0.392 ± 0.005	0.145 ± 0.032 -0.292 ± 0.007 -0.938 ± 0.014

 

Fitting the data using the least squares method gives a value of 0.165 Pa for the vapour pressure of the test substance at 20 °C. The error for the vapour pressure (p) calculated from the fit was 5.0 %. The deviation between each of the three data points and the fit was ≤ 2.0 %.

The error made in estimating the mean vapour pressure per temperature series was ≤ 1.1 %.

Taking all these errors into account, a value of 0.01 Pa (i.e. 6.0 %) was found to be reasonable for the uncertainty in the calculated vapour pressure at 20 °C.

 

According to the OECD guideline, the recommended range for the Static method is: 10 up to 10⁵ Pa. However, when using a capacitance manometer, the Static method can be used below 10^-1Pa (according to guideline's paragraph 'Apparatus'). This study was performed using a capacitance manometer with a measurement range of 6x10^-3 Pa - 2x10⁵ Pa. The vapour pressures measured for Hatcol 5150 at the three test temperatures were all between 0.3 and 1.1 Pa.

All sensors, thermometers and pressure sensor heads were calibrated over the ranges used in the experiments. Pressure sensor heads were calibrated from high vacuum (<< 10^-5 Pa) to be read as "0”-value up to 1 Pa. The thermometers were calibrated in the measurement range used for testing.

The measured vapour pressures and their natural logarithms are summarised below and are expressed in Pa. The values given are rounded values.
