Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.4 (Vapour Pressure)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
No statistical analysis was performed because the balance readings were too low and variable for a line of best fit to have any meaning. Instead it was considered more appropriate to impose a regression slope on a chosen data point to provide an estimate
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
effusion method: vapour pressure balance

Any other information on results incl. tables

No statistical analyses were performed because the balance readings were too low and variable for a line of best fit to have any meaning. Instead it was considered more appropriate to impose a regression slope on a chosen data point to provide an estimate of the maximum value for the vapour pressure at 25°C.   Run 5 was chosen because the sample had been under vacuum for the longest period prior to this run and so degassing would have been the most complete. The reading at 220°C (493.15 K) was chosen because this is the data point which gives the highest estimated vapour pressure at any given temperature when a slope of -1500 K is imposed upon it.   The value of -1500 K is an in-house value and is the shallowest slope observed whilst determining the vapour pressure on a wide range of samples using the vapour pressure balance method. Extrapolation to 25°C gave a vapour pressure of 6.276 x 104 Pa which has been taken as a maximum for this material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test material has been determined to be less than 6.3 x 10-4 Pa at 25°C.
Executive summary:

In a determination of hazardous physico-chemical properties study (Harlan project number: 0959/0235) the substance is shown to have a vapour pressure of less than 1.3 x 10-4Pa at 25°C.

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 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

 

The vapour pressure is related to the observed mass difference by the following equation:

 

Vp =δm.g/A

 

where:

 

Vp = vapour pressure (Pa)

δm = mass difference (kg)

g = acceleration dueto gravity (9.813 ms-2)

A = area of the orifice (7.06858x10-6m2)

 

No statistical analyses were performed because the balance readings were too low and variable for a line of best fit to have any meaning. Instead it was considered more appropriate to impose a regression slope on a chosen data point to provide an estimate of the maximum value for the vapour pressure at 25°C. The fifth run was chosen because the sample had been under vacuum for the longest period prior to this run and so degassing would have been the most complete. The reading at 220°C (493.15 K) was chosen because this is the data point which gives the highest estimated vapour pressure at any given temperature when a slope of -1500 K is imposed upon it.

  

The value of -1500 K is an in-house value and is the shallowest slope observed whilst determining the vapour pressure on a wide range of samples using the vapour pressure balance method.Extrapolation to 25°C gave a vapour pressure of 6.276 x 10-4Pa which has been taken as a maximum for this material
