1.1 This test method covers the use of automated vapor pressure instruments to determine the vapor pressure exerted in vacuum by volatile, liquid petroleum products, hydrocarbons, and hydrocarbon-oxygenate mixtures. This test method is suitable for testing samples with boiling points above 0°C (32°F) that exert a vapor pressure between 7 and 150 kPa (1.0 and 21psi) at 37.8°C (100°F) at a vapor-to-liquid ratio of 4:1. Measurements are made on liquid sample sizes in the range from 1 to 10 mL.
Note 1—The test method is suitable for the determination of the vapor pressure of volatile, liquid petroleum products at temperatures from 0 to 100 C at vapor to liquid ratios of 4:1 to 1.1 (X = 4 to 1) and pressures up to 500 kPa (70 psi), but the precision statement (see Section ) may not be applicable.
