The vapour pressure of a substance is defined as the saturation pressure of the vapour at thermodynamic equilibrium with the solid or liquid phase of the substance at a fixed temperature of the entire system. The vapour pressure so defined is a function of temperature only. The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa).

 

The vapour pressure, Vp, is related to the observed saturated gas concentration by the relationship:

 

Vp = (Weight of TA vaporised (g) x Temperature (K) x 8.314) / (Volume of saturated gas (m3) x Molecular weight) Pa

 

The vapour pressure-temperature relationship is represented as thedependence of log10vapour pressure versus reciprocal temperature in Kelvin, as expressed in the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The linearity of such a representation stems from the relative insensitivity of heats of vaporisation/sublimation to temperature changes. The following vapour pressure relationship:

 

Log10Vp (Pa) = (Slope / Intercept Temperature (K)) + Intercept

 

is thus used to determine, by extrapolation, the vapour pressure at298.15K (25°C).

 

The slope and intercept of the vapour pressure curve are estimated byan unweighed least squares statistical treatment of all the data points.

 

The following were the mean determined vapour pressures:

 

Vp 100°C:                                                0.796 mPa

Vp 90°C:                                                  0.555 mPa

 

The derived line of Log10Vp (Y) against 1/T(K) (X) was determined from the 5 individual results:

 

Mean: Y = -4401.1 x1/T + 8.852. Correlation coefficient -0.857

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure values at a range of temperatures were as shown below:
Vp = 0.796 mPa at 373.15 K
Vp = 0.555 mPa at 363.15 K
The calculated value of vapour pressure based upon the above readings is:
Vp = 1.23 x 10E-6 Pa at 298.15 (25 °C)
Executive summary:

In a vapour pressure study (13193), the vapour pressure of the test material was calculated to be 1.23 x 10E-6 Pa at 25 °C, according to Method A4 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC.
