Boiling Point / Boiling Range (DSC)

Two measurements in aluminium crucibles with a hole showed broad endothermic signals. Due to the broad shape of the endothermic signals only temperature ranges but no defined onset temperatures can be derived. A correctionof the values to standard atmospheric pressure wasdeemed unnecessarybecause theatmospheric pressure during the tests was 1008 hPa and therefore the resulting correction is much smaller than the uncertainty that accompanies the evaluation of the broadendothermic signals.

The first measurement showed two broad endothermic effects in the temperature range 0 °C to 80 °C and 100 °C to 145 °C, respectively.

The second measurement showed two endothermic effects in the temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C and 105 °C to 190 °C, respectively.

Ident-No.	Test temperature range  / °C	Temperature range of endothermic signal / °C	Crucible
31874	(-100) - 500	0 – 80 100 – 145	Aluminium with a hole
31876	(-100) - 300	0 – 105 105 – 190	Aluminium with a hole

 

According to the information from the sponsor the test item consists of a large number of different chemical substances. Some of these substances can be assumed as highly volatile. Possibly the first endothermic effect in the temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C could be caused by compounds with 5 and 6 carbon atoms. The second effect in temperature range of 105 °C to 190 °C could be caused by compounds with 9 and 10 carbon atoms. However due to the large variety of compounds involved it is not possible to give a more detailed result.

Due to large number of different chemical substances included in the test item the deviations of the measurements to each other are quite normal (especially since DSC-measurements only use a very small amount of the test item for each measurement).

 

The test item has a boiling range at atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) ofapproximately ambient temperature to 190 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test item has a boiling range at atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) of approximately ambient temperature to 190 °C.

Executive summary:

The test item has a boiling range at atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) ofapproximately ambient temperature to 190 °C.
