Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 45, November 8, 2024
Section 218.110 - Vapor Pressure of Organic Material or Solvent
a) If the organic material or solvent consists of only a single compound, the vapor pressure shall be determined by ASTM Method D2879-86 (incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part) or the vapor pressure may be obtained from a publication such as: Boublik, T., V. Fried and E. Hala, "The Vapor Pressure of Pure Substances," Elsevier Scientific Publishing Co., New York (1973); Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook, McGraw-Hill Book Company (1984); CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, Chemical Rubber Publishing Company (1986-87); and Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, John A. Dean, editor, McGraw-Hill Book Company (1985).
b) If the organic material or solvent is in a mixture made up of both organic material compounds and compounds which are not organic material, the vapor pressure shall be determined by the following equation:

where:

Pom

=

Total vapor pressure of the portion of the mixture which is composed of organic material;

n

=

Number of organic material components in the mixture;

i

=

Subscript denoting an individual component;

Pi

=

Vapor pressure of an organic material component determined in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section;

Xi

=

Mole fraction of the organic material component of the total organic mixture.

c) If the organic material or solvent is in a mixture made up of only organic material compounds, the vapor pressure shall be determined by ASTM Method D2879-86 (incorporated by reference in Section 218.112 of this Part) or by the above equation.
