Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2003
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The vapour pressure was taken from a peer reviewed publication.

Full method details and verification are described in the second to sixth listed reference above.
The vapour pressure was determined using the transpiration method, where the transfer of the substance occurs in a saturated N2-stream. About 0.5g of teh sampel was mixed with glass beads and placed in a thermostated U-tube of length 20cm and diameter 0.5m. A N2 stream was passed through the U-tube at constant temp and the transported amount of material was condensed in a cooled trap. This amount was determined by GC. Daltons law is assumed and vapour pressure is calculated.
