3、1. Scope Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the vapor pressure of pure liquids, the vapor pressure exerted by mixtures ina closed vessel at 4040 % 6 5 % ullage, and the initial thermal decomposition temperature of pure and mixed liquids. It isapplicable to liquids that are compa

4、tible with borosilicate glass and that have a vapor pressure between 133 Pa (1.0 torr) and 101.3kPa (760 torr) 133 Pa (1.0 torr) and 101.3 kPa (760 torr) at the selected test temperatures. The test method is suitable for use overthe range from ambient to 748 K. 623 K. The temperature range may be ex

5、tended to include temperatures below ambient provideda suitable constant-temperature bath for such temperatures is used.NOTE 1The isoteniscope is a constant-volume apparatus and results obtained with it on other than pure liquids differ from those obtained in aconstant-pressure distillation.1.2 Most

6、 petroleum products boil over a fairly wide temperature range, and this fact shall be recognized in discussion of theirvapor pressures. Even an ideal mixture following Raoults law will show a progressive decrease in vapor pressure as the lightercomponent is removed, and this is vastly accentuated in

7、 complex mixtures such as lubricating oils containing traces of dewaxingsolvents, etc. Such a mixture may well exert a pressure in a closed vessel of as much as 100 times that calculated from its averagecomposition, and it is the closed vessel which is simulated by the isoteniscope. For measurement

Summary of Test Method4.1 Dissolved and entrained fixed gases are removed from the sample in the isoteniscope by heating a thin layer of a sampleat reduced pressure, removing in this process the minimum am

22、ount of volatile constituents from the sample.4.2 The vapor pressure of the sample at selected temperatures is determined by balancing the pressure due to the vapor of thesample against a known pressure of an inert gas. The manometer section of the isoteniscope is used to determine pressure equality

23、4.3 The initial decomposition temperature is determined from a plot of the logarithm of the vapor pressure versus the reciprocalof absolute temperature. The initial decomposition temperature is taken as that temperature at which the plot first departs fromlinearity as a result of the decomposition

24、of the sample. An optional method provides for the use of isothermal rates of pressurerise for this purpose (see Annex A1). These are measured at several temperatures and the logarithm of the rate of pressure rise isplotted versus the reciprocal of absolute temperature. The decomposition temperature

25、 of the sample is taken to be that temperatureat which the rate of increase of pressure is sufficient to produce a rise of 185 Pa 185 Pa (0.0139 torr(0.0139 torr/s).s).NOTE 2Vapor pressures less than 133 Pa (1.0 torr), 133 Pa (1.0 torr), but greater than 13.3 Pa (0.1 torr) 13.3 Pa (0.1 torr) at a se

26、lected test temperaturecan be determined directly with reduced accuracy. In some cases the tendency of the sample to retain dissolved or occluded air may prevent directdeterminations of vapor pressure in this range. In such cases, data points obtained at higher pressures can be extrapolated to yield

27、 approximate vaporpressures in this range.5. Significance and Use5.1 The vapor pressure of a substance as determined by isoteniscope reflects a property of the sample as received including mostvolatile components, but excluding dissolved fixed gases such as air. Vapor pressure, per se, is a thermody

28、namic property whichis dependent only upon composition and temperature for stable systems. The isoteniscope method is designed to minimizecomposition changes which may occur during the course of measurement.6.

Remove dissolved fixed gases by gentlywarming the sample with an alcohol lamp until it just boils (WarningWarningFlammable.Flammable. Denatured alcoholcannot be made nontoxic. See A2.2.). Continue for 1 min.1 min.NOTE 3During

44、the initial evacuation of the system, it may be necessary to cool volatile samples to prevent boiling or loss of volatiles.NOTE 4If the sample is a pure compound, complete removal of fixed gases may readily be accomplished by vigorous boiling at 13.3 Pa (0.1 torr).13.3 Pa (0.1 torr). For samples tha

45、t consist of mixtures of substances differing in vapor pressure, this procedure is likely to produce an error due to theloss of volatile components. Gentle boiling is to be preferred in such cases. The rate of boiling during degassing may be controlled by varying both thepressure at which the proced

46、ure is carried out and the amount of heating. In most cases, satisfactory degassing can be obtained at 133 Pa (1 torr). 133 Pa(1 torr). However, extremely viscous materials may require degassing at lower pressures. Samples of high volatility may have to be degassed at higherpressures. In the event t

47、hat the vapor pressure data indicate that the degassing procedure has not completely removed all dissolved gases, it may benecessary to apply a correction to the data or to disregard data points that are so affected (see 8.7). The degassing procedure does not prevent the lossof volatile sample compo

48、nents completely. However, the described procedure minimizes such losses, so that for most purposes the degassed sample canbe considered to be representative of the original sample less the fixed gases that have been removed.8.3 After the sample has been degassed, close the vacuum line valve and tur

Create a vapor-filled, nitrogen-free space betweenthe bulb and the manometer in the following manner: maintain the pressure in the isoteniscope at the same pressure used fordegassing; heat the drawn-out tip of the sample bulb with a small flame until sample vapor is released from the sample; continueto heat the tip until the vapor expands sufficiently to displace part of the sample from the upper part of the
