Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Literature reference with study details. Study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment.
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Samples placed in melting point tubes (soft glass) and the tubes were four times evacuated to about 1 mmHg pressure and flushed with nitrogen. The tubes were then sealed off, bound to a 76 mm HG immersion thermometer and placed in a pre-heated silicone oil-bath (estimated accuracy of +-0.3) equipped with mechanical agitation.
