Conclusions:
The vapor pressure of methacrylic acidvcalculated by Clausius Clapeyron method based on published data of a vapor pressure curve is 0.97 hPa at 20°C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of methacrylic acid was calculated by Clausius Clapeyron method based on published data of a vapor pressure curve (data collection by Stull, 1947). The calculated value is 0.97 hPa at 20 °C.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of methacrylic acid was calculated by Clausius Clapeyron method based on published data of a vapor pressure curve (data collection by Stull, 1947). The calculated value based on measured data is 0.97 hPa at 20 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.97 hPa
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

Data of another vapor pressure curve are available by Kirk-Othmer (1981). Based on these data a vapor pressure of 0.335 hPa at 20 °C has been calculated.

Supporting information is available in a valid handbook which reported the vapour pressure of methacrylic acid with 0.87 hPa at 20 °C..
