- Endpoint:
- vapour pressure
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.4 (Vapour Pressure)
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 104 (Vapour Pressure Curve)
- GLP compliance:

- Type of method:
- effusion method: Knudsen cell
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Vapour pressure:
- 0.17 Pa
- Temp.:
- 25 °C
- Vapour pressure:
- 0.32 Pa
- Conclusions:
- The vapour pressure of Ditolyl ether at 20 and 25 °C was determined as 0.17 Pa and 0.32 Pa, respectively.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was the determination of the vapour pressure of the test item according to European Commission Regulations (EC) No. 440/2008 and No. 761/2009, A.4. Vapour pressure: effusion method and OECD test guideline, OECD 104 (2006) Vapour pressure.
The method is based on the estimation of the mass of test item flowing out per unit of time of a Knudsen cell in the form of vapour, through a micro-orifice under ultra-vacuum conditions. The test item is filled into the test cell and placed in a furnace in the vacuum chamber from which the sample evaporates. The temperature of the cell with the test item is controlled by a surrounding heater. The vapour forms a molecular jet of defined geometry limited by an orifice. The mass of effused vapour is obtained by determining the loss of mass in the cell.
The vapour pressure of Ditolyl ether at 20 and 25 °C was determined as 0.17 Pa and 0.32 Pa, respectively.
Reference
From the measured data the parametersof the Antoine equation can be derived by regression.
