Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The transpiration method (also called gas saturation) involves passing a steady stream of an inert gas over or through the sample, which is held at constant temperature.

no
Type of method:
gas saturation method
Temp.:
21 °C
Vapour pressure:
2.84 Pa

An equation is given to calculate the vapor pressure as a function of temperature:

lnP = 337.7/R-97276.2/RT-94.8*ln(T/298.15)/R with R= 8.314472 SI unit and T in in Kelvin. In this equation, P is in Pascals.
