2、he case of revision,the year of last revision.A number 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
3、test method covers the determination of the vaporpressure of pure liquids,the vapor pressure exerted by mixturesin a closed vessel at 40%6 5%ullage,and the initial thermaldecomposition temperature of pure and mixed liquids.It isapplicable to liquids that are compatible with borosilicate glassand tha
4、t have a vapor pressure between 133 Pa(1.0 torr)and101.3 kPa(760 torr)at the selected test temperatures.The testmethod is suitable for use over the range from ambient to623 K.The temperature range may be extended to includetemperatures below ambient provided a suitable constant-temperature bath for
5、such temperatures is used.NOTE1The isoteniscope is a constant-volume apparatus and resultsobtained with it on other than pure liquids differ from those obtained in aconstant-pressure distillation.1.2 Most petroleum products boil over a fairly wide tem-perature range,and this fact shall be recognized
6、 in discussionof their vapor pressures.Even an ideal mixture followingRaoults law will show a progressive decrease in vaporpressure as the lighter component is removed,and this is vastlyaccentuated in complex mixtures such as lubricating oilscontaining traces of dewaxing solvents,etc.Such a mixturem
7、ay well exert a pressure in a closed vessel of as much as 100times that calculated from its average composition,and it is theclosed vessel which is simulated by the isoteniscope.Formeasurement of the apparent vapor pressure in open systems,Test Method D2878,is recommended.1.3 The values stated in SI
