From the measured data points of the vapour pressure curve the constants A, B and C of the Antoine equation were derived by linear regression of the data points to

A = 10.0424
B = -2262.86
C= 273.15.

The vapour pressure values of the lest item which were calculated by extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20 °C, 25 °C and 50 °C.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated by extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20 °C, 25 °C and 50 °C to be 2.11, 2.84 and 10.96 hPa, respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 and EPA OPPTS 830.7950 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item using the dynamic method: Vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE). When reaching the thermodynamic equilibrium, the vapour pressure of the test item was calculated using the Antoine equation. Within the experiment a vapour pressure curve with 6 data points was measured over a pressure range between 80 to 300 hPa. The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 94.4 °C to 133.6 °C. The vapour pressure was calculated to be 2.11 hPa at 20 °C, 2.84 hPa at 25 °C and 10.96 hPa at 50 °C, respectively.
