Conclusions:
Calculation of the vapor pressure at 25 °C by interpolation based upon the simplified Clausius-Clapeyron equation resulted in a vapor pressure of 2.0 x 10 E-3 Pa at 25 °C.
Executive summary:

During this study, the vapor pressure of the test item has been determined using the gas saturation method. The vapor pressure of salicylamide was measured at test temperatures of 20 °C, 30 °C and 40 °C and was determined to be 9.7 x 10-4Pa at 20 °C, 4.2 x 10-3Pa at 30 °C, 1.6 x 10-2Pa at 40 °C. The vapor pressure at 25 °C was interpolated from the vapor pressure curve and was calculated to be 2.0 x 10-3Pa at 25 °C.
