1、Designation:E119417Standard Test Method forVapor Pressure1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1194;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year
2、of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method describes procedures for measuring thevapor pressure of pure liquid or solid compounds.No singletechnique is able to measure vapor pressures from 1 1011to100 kPa(a
3、pproximately 1010to 760 torr).The subject of thisstandard is gas saturation which is capable of measuring vaporpressures from 1 1011to 1 kPa(approximately 1010to 10torr).Other methods,such as isoteniscope and differentialscanning calorimetry(DSC)are suitable for measuring vaporpressures above 0.1 kP

5、saturationprocedure for measuring vapor pressures from 1 1011to 1kPa(approximately 1010to 10 torr)is presented in this testmethod.All procedures are subjects of U.S.EnvironmentalProtection Agency Test Guidelines.1.2 The gas saturation method is very useful for providingvapor pressure data at normal
6、environmental temperatures(40to+60C).At least three temperature values should be studiedto allow definition of a vapor pressure-temperature correlation.Values determined should be based on temperature selectionssuch that a measurement is made at 25C(as recommended byIUPAC)(1),2a value can be interpo

8、 above andbelow 25C to avoid extrapolation altogether.The gas satura-tion method was selected because of its extended range,simplicity,and general applicability(2).Examples of resultsproduced by the gas-saturation procedure during an interlabo-ratory evaluation are given in Table 1.These data have b
