Results
The test item was degassed at 50 °C for 8 h before the measurement. The vapour pressure was measured in a range of 70 to 120 °C.

The data point measured at 70 °C was taken into account for further evaluations because it shows a typical deviation caused by volatile impurities at the beginning of a measurement. This behavior could be caused by water of crystallization. Data points measured between 80 and 120 °C were below the detection limit of 1.0E-05 hPa.

Vapour pressures obtained were not sufficiently high to extrapolate to 20, 25 and 50 °C. Therefore, these values were estimated using the Antoine equation (Eq. 2).

Constant C was assumed to be equal to 273.15 and constant B was -5000. The detection limit (1.0E-05 hPa) at the highest measuring point (120 °C) was used for the calculation as all measured vapour pressures were below the detection limit.

A = 1.0 log10-5– [-5000/(273.15 + 120)] = 7.72

The vapour pressure at 20, 25 and 50 °C can then be calculated with the Antoine equation. Based on the detection limit and the highest measurement point at 120 °C, the following upper limit vapour pressures for the test item were calculated.

Additional information

Vapour pressures obtained were not sufficiently high to extrapolate to 20, 25 and 50 °C. Therefore, these values were estimated using the Antoine equation.
