Validity criteria for the measurement of the vapour pressure:






























Target condition according to guideline:Actual condition according to the study:Validity criteria met:
The vapour pressure should be determined for at least two temperatures. Three or more are preferred in the range 0 to 50 °C, in order to check the linearity of the vapour pressure curve.The vapor presssure was determined for seven temperatures in the range of 20 to 50 °C.Yes
A log p versus 1 /T curve should be stated.The curve is presented in the study Yes
An estimate of the vapour pressure at 20 or 25 °C should be stated.Both are calculated and stated in the study.Yes
The recommended measuring range for the gas saturation method is 10-4 to 10 Pa.Measured vapour pressures were >10 Pa. However, measured values from three experiment replicates showed standard deviation of <2% (up to 45°C) and <11% (at 50°C) and a reasonable temperature dependence. Therefore, values determined for vapour pressure are considered valid. No

 

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test substance was was P20=30.5 Pa at 20°C andP25=39.6 Pa at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to determine the vapour pressure of the test substance by a modified gas saturation method using a head space chromatographic apparatus in accordance with EC Testing Guideline A.4. The saturation experimetns were done in triplicate and the vapour pressure of the test substance was P20=30.5 Pa at 20 °C and P25=39.6 Pa at 25°C.
