Two measurements in aluminium crucibles with a hole showed an endothermic effect in the temperature range 280 - 350 °C with an onset temperature of approximately 336 °C.

Ident No.	Onset / °C	Temperature range/°C	Crucible
22673	336.16	280 - 350	Aluminium with a hole
22674	336.86	280 - 350	Aluminium with a hole

For the correction Δt of the boiling point to standard atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) the equation, table and graphs of H.B. Hass and R.F. Newton in „CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 74th ed. 1993-1994", pages 15-16 and 15-17 were used.

 

Δt = [(273.15+t) (3.0057-log p)] / [φ + 0.15(3.0057-log p)]          (t in °C, p in hPa)

For the estimation of φ the test item was classified in group 2 (hydrocarbons) according to the table of H.B Hass and R.F. Newton.

Ident No.	Onset / °C	Atmospheric pressure / hPa	Φ (group 2)	Δt/ °C	Boiling point at 1013.3 hPa /°C
22673	336.16	1009	5.232	0.211	336.37
22674	336.86	1009	5.232	0.211	336.07

The boiling point of the test item at atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) is 336.2 °C.

Conclusions:

The boiling point of the test item at atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) is 336.2 °C.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD test guideline 103 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.2 to determine the boiling point of the test item using differential scanning calorimetry. The test item and the reference are heated up from the starting temperature to the final temperature at a constant heating rate in a defined atmosphere (nitrogen). Open crucibles are used as containers for the test item and as empty reference crucible. The quantity of heat absorbed or released is measured and recorded. The test item had a boiling point of 336.2 °C under atmospheric conditions.

Description of key information
