Boiling point / boiling range: DSC measurement

Two DSC measurements in aluminium crucibles with a hole showed an endothermal effect in the temperature range of 10 – 85 °C. The onset temperature (see Table 3) was derived from the intersection of the tangent line with the highest slope of the endothermal peak with the baseline. No further endothermal or exothermal effects were observed up to the final temperature (500 °C). The mass loss after the DSC measurements amounted to 100 %.

The results of the DSC measurements are summarized in Table 3.

For the correction of the boiling point to standard atmospheric pressure (1013.3 hPa) the equation, table and graphs of H.B. Hass and R.F. Newton in "CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 74th ed. 1993-1994", pages 15-16 and 15-17 were used:

t Temperature in °C

p pressure in hPa

For the estimation of F the test item was classified in group 2 (hydrocarbons) according to the table of H.B Hass and R.F. Newton in "CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics". The results are shown in Table 4.
