Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Specific details on test material used for the study:
3.2.1 Vapour Pressure Tester
Specification: 81000-2 Setavap 2
Supplier: Stanhope-Seta
The 81000-2 Setavap 2 Vapour Pressure Tester is a benchtop automated instrument for measuring the vapour pressure of gasoline, solvents, light crude oil and similar products.

3.2.2 Vacuum pump
Specification: REFCO Rotary vane vacuum pump (RL-2)
Supplier: Stanhope-Seta

3.2.3 Other instruments and devices
-Syringe with Luer lock
-Septum
Key result
Test no.:
#1
Temp.:
ca. 37.8 °C
Vapour pressure:
ca. 62.7 kPa

A 3 ml air-saturated liquid sample is injected, using a special gastight syringe, through a septum on the top of the unit, into the fully evacuated ans sealed 15 ml chamber. Pressure readings are then evaluated at one minute intervals: when the pressure reading reaches a value which is stable within 0.1kPa for three minute, the value is recorded as the prescribed end point of the test. The pressure is sensed by a low volumetric displacement transducer and is electronically converted using correlations equations appropriate to the Method of Test and displayed on the digital display.

Conclusions:
the Vapour Pressure of Naphtha/Light Oil is stated as 62.7 kPa at 37.8ºC.
