Scope1.1 This test method describes procedures for determinationof the vapor pressure of liquids by ebulliometry (boiling pointmeasurements). It is a

Liquid mixtures may be studied if they do notcontain non-condens
4、able components. Liquid mixtures thatcontain trace amounts of volatile but completely condensablecomponents may also be studied, but they will produce vaporpressure data of greater uncertainty. Boiling point temperaturesare measured at applied pressures of 1.0 to 100 kPa (7.5 to 760torr).1.2 SI unit

Theebulliometer is connected to a manostat, and coolant iscirculated through the ebulliometer condenser. The manosta

The boiling temperature and manostat pressureare recorded upon reaching a steady-state, and the manostatpressure is raised to a higher value.Asuitable number (usuallyfive or more) of boiling temperature points are recor

Vapor pressure values required for specific reportsare then computed from the derived equation.4.2 The capability of the entire apparatus (ebulliometer,thermometer, manosta

Apparatus7
20、.1 EbulliometerA vapor-lift-pump, stirred-flask, orequivalent type of ebulliometer.7.1.1 For Example, a Vapor-Lift-Pump Ebulliometer3Fig.1 shows the dimensions for an example twin-arm ebulliometer,which is a one-stage, total-reflux boiler equipped with avapor-lift pump to spray slugs of equilibrated
21、 liquid and vaporon a thermometer well. The boiler (e), which is constructedfrom concentric pieces of 200-mm glass tubing (5 and 10-mmoutside diameter), has powdered glass fused to the heatedsurface to promote smooth boiling. The boiler is wrapped withan electrical heater. Twin vapor-lift pumps (d-c
22、onstructed of270-mm lengths of 5-mm outside diameter glass tubing) sprayliquid and vapor slugs on a 100-mm thermometer well (c) thatis wrapped with a glass spiral to promote thermal equilibration.The vapor-lift pumps dissipate the effects of superheating. Theebulliometer is connected to the manostat
23、 through a 200-mmreflux condenser (b); see 7.3. The side view in Fig. 1 shows aseptum port and stopcock (f and i) where materials may becharged to the apparatus. Except for the condenser, septumport, and stopcock, the entire ebulliometer is insulated with asuitable case or wrapping. A window should
24、be left to observethe smoothness of boiling and the return rate (drop rate) ofcondensed vapor into the 125-mL boiler return reservoir.7.1.1.1 For example, a Swietoslawski-type ebulliometer4may be used instead.7.1.2 For example, a Stirred-Flask Ebulliometer, Fig. 2shows an example of a stirred-flask
25、ebulliometer, which is aone-stage, total-reflux boiler equipped with a magnetic stirrerto circulate the boiling liquid past a thermometer well which isimmersed in the liquid. The boiler is a 250-mL, round-bottomed, single-neck boiling flask modified with a 7-mminside diameter thermometer well positi
26、oned diagonally towardthe bottom of the flask. The bottom half of the boiler haspowdered glass fused to the inner surface to promote smoothboiling.5The thermometer well is positioned to have a lengthof at least 20 mm below the surface of the liquid when 125 mLof liquid is charged to the flask.

Vapor-lift-pump ebulliometers are preferred except if“bumping” occurs, as discussed in 6.2 and 9.5.7.1.3 Other EbulliometersOther ebulliometers, for ex-ample, those that require smaller specimen charges, may beused if the operation and capability of the ebulliometer isdemonstrated by the proc

Indirect heating by circulating a thermostatted hot fluidthrough a jacketed boiler may be used.7.3 Condenser, which shall be of the fluid-cooled, reflux,gl
33、ass-tube type, having a condenser jacket of at least 200 mmin length. A smaller condenser may be used, particularly forsmaller volume systems, provided that no condensed specimenis found in the cold trap.NOTE 2Suitable condenser designs include Allihn, Graham, Liebig,and equivalent condensers.7.4 Co
34、olant Circulating SystemCooling water below 300K, circulated through the condenser for tests on materials thatfreeze below 273 K and boil above 325 K at the lowest appliedpressure. For other test materials, a circulating thermostat shallbe used that is capable of supplying coolant to the condenser a

36、 cold traps at the conclusion of the test.7.5 Cold Trap, capable of freezing or condensing the testmaterial, connected in series to the condenser. Ice plus water,dry ice plus solvent, or liquid nitrogen may be used as the coldtrap coolant, depending on the characteristics of the testmaterial.7.6 Tem
37、perature Measuring DeviceLiquid-in-glass ther-mometers accurate to 0.1 K (after calibration and immersioncorrections), or any other thermometric device of equal orbetter accuracy. See Specification E1.7.7 Thermometer Well FluidA low-volatility, thermallyinert fluid such as silicone oil or glycerin,
38、charged to thethermometer well of the ebulliometer. The amount of fluidadded should be such that the fluid level in the thermometerwell is not above the flask boundary when the ebulliometer isat the measurement temperature.7.8 Pressure Regulating SystemA manostat, capable ofmaintaining the pressure
39、of the system constant within 60.07kPa (60.5 torr). Connect the pressure regulating system to theexit of the cold trap. A T-connection from the pressureregulating system near the exit of the cold trap should be usedto connect the manometer. A ballast volume may be used todampen pressure fluctuations
40、.7.9 Pressure Measuring SystemA manometer, capable ofmeasuring absolute pressure with an accuracy of 60.07 kPa(60.5 torr).7.9.1 A comparative ebulliometer may be used to measurepressure. The comparative ebulliometer is connected to thesame pressure-controlled atmosphere as the test ebulliometerand c
41、ontains a reference fluid (for example, distilled water).The observed boiling temperature in the comparative ebulli-ometer is used to compute the applied pressure from the knownvapor pressure-temperature relationship of the reference fluid.7.10 Software, to perform multiple linear regression analy-s

Safety Precautions8.1 There shall be adequate provisions for the retention anddisposal of spilled mercury if mercury-containing thermom-eters, pressure measurement, or controlling devices are used.8.2 Vapor pressure reference materials (Annex A1) andmany test materials and c
43、old trap fluids will burn. Adequateprecautions shall be taken to eliminate ignition sources andprovide ventilation to remove flammable vapors that aregenerated during operation of the ebulliometer.8.3 Adequate precautions shall be taken to protect theoperator in case debris is scattered by an implos
44、ion of glassapparatus under vacuum.9. Procedure9.1 Start with clean, dry apparatus. Verify the operation andcapability of the apparatus as described inAnnexA1 for a newebulliometer setup or an ebulliometer setup that has not beenused recently.9.2 Charge a specimen of appropriate volume to the ebulli
45、-ometer boiler. Charge 75 6 1 mL for the vapor-lift ebulliom-eter (Fig. 1). Close all stopcocks on the vapor-lift ebulliometer.Charge 125 6 1 mL for the stirred-flask ebulliometer (Fig. 2).FIG. 2 Stirred-Flask EbulliometerE1719053Add a magnetic stirring bar to the stirred-flask ebulliometer.Connect
46、the stirred-flask ebulliometer to the reflux condenser.9.3 Connect the ebulliometer reflux condenser to the coldtrap. Connect the cold trap exit to a glassware T-connection.Connect one side of the T-connection to the manostat and theother side to the manometer. If a comparative ebulliometer isused a
47、s the manometer, charge the reference fluid to thecomparative ebulliometer and connect it through a cold trap tothe T-connection.9.4 Start the condenser coolant flow. Set the manostat forthe lowest pressure to be studied. (This pressure shouldproduce a boiling temperature at least 30 K above the con
48、-denser coolant temperature.) Turn on the magnetic stirrer ifusing a stirred-flask ebulliometer. Turn on the electrical heater,and heat the specimen to produce steady-state reflux. A30-mmreflux zone should be visible in the bottom of a 200-mm longreflux condenser at steady-state. Decrease the heatin
49、g power ifthe reflux zone extends above half the height of the condenser.The reflux return rate from the condenser at steady-state shouldbe at least two drops/s.9.5 See 6.2 if the specimen “bumps”. If “bumping” invali-dates the test, two remedies can be tried to see whether it iseliminated: the test can be repeated at a higher initial pressure,or a stirred-flask ebulliometer can be tried in place of thevapor-lift-pump ebulliometer.NOTE 4“Bumping” in the ebulliometer boiler is usually caused by theinability of the apparatus to dissipate the effects of superheating o
