Scope*1.1 This test method covers the use of automated vaporpr
3、essure instruments to determine the total vapor pressureexerted in vacuum by air-containing, volatile, liquid petroleumproducts, including automotive spark-ignition fuels with orwithout oxygenates (see Note 1). This test method is suitablefor testing samples with boiling points above 0C (32F) thatex
4、ert a vapor pressure between 7 and 130 kPa (1.0 and 18.6psi) at 37.8C (100F) at a vapor-to-liquid ratio of 4:1.Measurements are made on liquid sample sizes in the rangefrom 1 to 10 mL. No account is made for dissolved water in thesample.NOTE 1An interlaboratory study was conducted in 2008 involving
5、11different laboratories submitting 15 data sets and 15 different samples ofethanol-fuel blends containing 25 volume %, 50 volume %, and 75volume % ethanol. The results indicated that the repeatability limits ofthese samples are with in the published repeatability of this test method.on this basis,
6、it can be concluded that D5191 is applicable to ethanol-fuelblends such as Ed75 and Ed85 (Specification D5798) and other ethanol-fuel blends with greater than 10 v% ethanol. See ASTM RR: D021694filed with ASTM for supporting data.2NOTE 2Samples can also be tested at other vapor-to-liquid ratios,temp

Summary of Test Method4.1 A known volume of chilled, air-saturated sample isintroduced into a thermostatically controlled, evacuated testchamber, or a test chamber with a moveable piston thatexpands the volume after sample introduction, the internalvolume of which is
24、 five times that of the total test specimenintroduced into the chamber. After introduction into the testchamber, the test specimen is allowed to reach thermal equi-librium at the test temperature, 37.8C (100F). The resultingrise in pressure in the chamber is measured using a pressuretransducer senso
25、r and indicator. Only total pressure measure-ments (sum of the partial pressure of the sample and the partialpressure of the dissolved air) are used in this test method,although some instruments can measure the absolute pressureof the sample as well.4.2 The measured total vapor pressure is converted
26、 to a dryvapor pressure equivalent (DVPE) by use of a correlationequation (see Eq 1 in 14.2).5. Significance and Use5.1 Vapor pressure is a very important physical property ofvolatile liquids.5.2 The vapor pressure of gasoline and gasoline-oxygenateblends is regulated by various government agencies.
