1、Designation:D5190 07Standard Test Method forVapor Pressure of Petroleum Products(Automatic Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5190;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A
2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the totalvapor pressure of air-containing,volatile,petroleum products.This test method is sui
3、table for testing samples with boilingpoints above 0C(32F)that exert a vapor pressure between 7and 172 kPa(1 and 25 psi)at 37.8C(100F)at a vapor-to-liquid ratio of 4:1.This test method is suitable for testinggasoline samples that contain oxygenates.No account is madeof dissolved water in the sample.
4、1.1.1 Some gasoline-oxygenate blends may show a hazewhen cooled to 0 to 1C.If a haze is observed in 8.5,it shallbe indicated in the reporting of results.The precision and biasstatements for hazy samples have not been determined(seeNote 8).1.2 This test method is suitable for the calculation of a dry
