The objective of this study was to determine the Vapor pressure of the test item, polyflow 130 using Gas chromatography method.
Following equipments were used in the study: Gas Chromatograph GC-2010 plus (Shimadzu, Japan)

The solvent n-Hexane was used as diluent and as well as reference item.
A Gas Chromatography involves equilibrium between volatile solute, solvent and an inert gas used as a carrier gas. A very basic equation relating the net solute retention time “t” at Temperature “T” in a solvent is given by
tx pos
--- = ------
ts pox

where tx = retention time of unknown solute in solvent
ts = retention time of reference solute in solvent
pos =Vapor pressure of reference solute in solvent
pox = Vapor pressure of unknown solute in solvent

The method was developed using GC – FID taking the following points in to consideration.
• The test item physical state was viscous liquid resembling peanut oil.
• The boiling point of the test item was 215.2 (sourced from study No., 8032)
• The vapor pressure of any test item equals 100 kPa (1atm pressure) at its boiling point
• The vapor pressure of the test item would be less than 100kPa, since water vapor pressure matches 100kPa at 100°C
• At 25°C the water vapor pressure is around 3.17 kPa, hence for the test item the vapor pressure would be less than 3.17kPa.
The reference items mentioned, having known pressures at 25°C was sourced from standard literatures mentioned and were prepared in n-hexane solvent and injected in to gas chromatography. The retention time of the individual reference item, which is based on their vapor pressure was recorded.

The calculations were carried out using Microsoft® Excel 2010. The values were interlinked and truncated to appropriate decimals based on its significance. There will be slight deviation in the final results if calculated using calculator.
Vapor pressure conversion factor = 133.322
Vapor pressure, mmHg x 133.322 = Vapor pressure, Pa
Regression equation = Y = bX + a
where Y = Ln (P°s)
b = Slope = -7.8506
X = Ln (ts)
a = Intercept = 14.6899

The test item Vapor pressure was determined by gas chromatography method. The reference items were chosen such a way that the retention time covers the test item retention time. A natural logarithms data plot was constructed using ln (ts), the retention time and ln (P°s), the known vapor pressure (at 25°C) of the reference items. The regression coefficient >0.90 reveals method suitability. The regression equation was used to derive the vapor pressure of polyflow 130. The details on data generated were given inTable -1
