Calculation

The vapour pressure is related to temperature by the following equation:

Log10[Vp (Pa)] = [slope / temperature (K)]+ intercept

A plot ofLog10[Vp (Pa)] versus reciprocal temperature [1/T(K)] therefore gives a straight line graph.

The vapour pressure of the sample was measured over a range of temperatures to enable extrapolation to 298.15 K.

A plot of Log10[vapour pressure (Pa)] versus reciprocal temperature [1/T(K)] for Run 1 gives the following statistical data using an unweighted least squares treatment:

Slope -2246.888; Standard deviation in slope 53.965; Intercept 11.201; Standard deviation in intercept 0.159.

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship: Log10(Vp (Pa)) = -2246.888/temp(K) + 11.201.

The above yields a vapour pressure (Pa) at 298.15 K with a common logarithm of 3.665.

Conclusions:
vapour pressure = 4400 Pa (at 25°C)
Executive summary:

Testing was conducted using EU-Method A.4. The vapour pressure was determined using an isoteniscope system with measurements being made at several temperatures and linear regression analysis used to calculate the vapour pressure at 25 °C. The test was conducted without prior degassing in order to minimise the loss of the volatile components.

The vapour pressure of the test material has been determined to be 4400 Pa at 25 ºC (arithmetic mean of three determinations); the test material did not change in appearance under the conditions used in the determination.

Additional information

Testing was conducted using EU-Method A.4. The vapour pressure was determined using an isoteniscope system with measurements being made at several temperatures and linear regression analysis used to calculate the vapour pressure at 25 °C. The test was conducted without prior degassing in order to minimise the loss of the volatile components.

The vapour pressure of the test material has been determined to be 4400 Pa at 25 ºC (arithmetic mean of three determinations); the test material did not change in appearance under the conditions used in the determination.

Vapour pressure values for constituents of GTL Naphtha were calculated using a validated prediction method using the following equation:

log VP (Pa) = 6.999 – 0.355*(CH3) – 0.483*(CH2) – 0.515*(CH)

 

Where:

(CH3) = number of terminal methyl groups

(CH2) = number of unbranched mid-chain groups

(CH) = number of branched mid-chain groups
