1、Designation:D32320aStandard Test Method forVapor Pressure of Petroleum Products(Reid Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D323;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number
2、in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers procedures for the determina-tion of
3、 vapor pressure(see Note 1)of gasoline,volatile crudeoil,and other volatile petroleum products.1.2 Procedure A is applicable to gasoline and other petro-leum products with a vapor pressure of less than 180 kPa(26 psi).1.3 Procedure B may also be applicable to these othermaterials,but only gasoline w
4、as included in the interlaboratorytest program to determine the precision of this test method.1.4 Procedure C is for materials with a vapor pressure ofgreater than 180 kPa(26 psi).1.5 Procedure D for aviation gasoline with a vapor pressureof approximately 50 kPa(7 psi).NOTE1Because the external atmo
5、spheric pressure is counteracted bythe atmospheric pressure initially present in the vapor chamber,the Reidvapor pressure is an absolute pressure at 37.8 C(100 F)in kilopascals(pounds-force per square inch).The Reid vapor pressure differs from thetrue vapor pressure of the sample due to some small s
6、ample vaporizationand the presence of water vapor and air in the confined space.1.6 This test method is not applicable to liquefied petroleumgases or fuels containing oxygenated compounds other thanmethyl t-butyl ether(MTBE).For determination of the vaporpressure of liquefied petroleum gases,refer t
