Results and Discussions

Preliminary Test

The preliminary test was done from 25 °C to 400 °C with a heating rate of 20 °C/min. A first endothermic heat effect, the melting, was observed at 32.6 °C. A second endothermic heat effect, the boiling, was detected at 298.7 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost 99.8% of its mass no residue remained in the sample cup.

Main Tests

In order to determine the boiling point more precisely, further DSC-runs were recorded between 220 °C and 350 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. During these runs, the boiling point was determined to be 308.4 °C in both runs. The samples lost 97.2% and 96.1% of their mass, and no residue remained in the sample cups.

Conclusions:
The boiling point of the test item was determined to be 308.4 °C, which is equal to 581.6 K. The estimated accuracy is ± 0.5 K.The atmospheric pressure during the boiling point measurements was 100.0 kPa.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test item was determined to be 308.4 °C, which is equal to 581.6 K. This result was obtained using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (Thermal Analysis) method. The atmospheric pressure during the measurements was 100.0 kPa.
