The linear regression of log P vs. 1/T gave a correlation coefficient r of - 0.9994, showing good repeatability and precision. Therefore, the determination is considered as valid. For the test item, the following vapour pressures at 20 °C and at 25 °C were calculated from the regression equation:


 














Vapour pressure at 20 °C:



3.90*10-03 Pa



Vapour pressure at 25 °C:



5.04*10-03 Pa


Conclusions:
The estimated vapour pressure of the test item at 20 °C is 3.90E-3 Pa.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of test item has been determined according to the effusion method described in OECD Guideline 104 and EU Regulation No 761/2009, Method A.4. The method is based on the estimation of the mass of test item flowing out per unit of time of a Knudsen cell in the form of vapour, through a micro-orifice under ultra-vacuum conditions. The mass of effused vapour was obtained by determining the loss of mass of the cell. The vapour pressure was calculated by applying the Hertz-Knudsen relation. The vapour pressure of the test item was determined at four different temperatures (30, 45, 60 and 75 °C). The vapour pressures at 20 and 25 °C were calculated from the linear regression equation to be 3.90E-3 and 5.04E-3 Pa, respectively.
