A plot of Log10(vapour pressure (Pa)) versus reciprocal temperature (1/T(K)) for Run 1 gives the following statistical data using an unweighted least squares treatment.

Slope                                       -9318.209
Standard deviation in slope     481.838

Intercept                                        27.413
Standard deviation in intercept    1.546

The results obtained indicate the following vapour pressure relationship:

Log10(Vp (Pa)) = -9318.209/temp(K) + 27.413

The above yields a vapour pressure (Pa) at 298.15 K with a common logarithm of -3.841.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test material has been determined to be 8.5 x 10-5 Pa at 25ºC.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure was determined using a vapour pressure balance with measurements being made at several temperatures and linear regression analysis used to calculate the vapour pressure at 25°C. Testing was conducted using Method A4 Vapour Pressure of Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2208 of 30 May 2008, Part A: Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties.

The vapour pressure of the test material has been determined to be 8.5 x 10-5Pa at 25ºC.
