The vapour pressure of the test item at 20 °C was c alculated by mathematical extrapolation using the Antoine equation. It was determined to be 3.4 hPa (at 20 °C).

Antoine equation:

log p = A – B / (T + C)

[p in hPa; T in °C]

A = 6.914750

B = 1273.1130

C = 179.40192
Conclusions:
The vapour presure of the test item was calculated to be 3.4 hPa at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

A study following OECD 104 and EU A.4 was performed to determine the vapour pressure of the test item. A portion of the test item was given in a glass apparatus. A thermometer was placed in the vapour above the surface of the liquid. The measurements started at the initial pressure of 9.5 hPa and at thermodynamic equilibrium. The pressure was increased stepwise up to a final pressure of 916.4 hPa. The temperature of the vapour was measured as a function of the pressure. From the beginning until approx. 90 °C the sample w as boiling intermittent. The vapour pressure of the test item at 20 °C was calculated by mathematical extrapolation using the Antoine equation. It was determined to be 3.4 hPa (at 20 °C).
