Notes:
An apparatus is described for the measurement of vapor pressures of low volatility solids and liquids by a static method in the range 10−2–100 mm Hg and 30 °C–300 °C. The method consists in inserting between the pressure gauge (here a capacitance manometer) and the product to be tested, a membrane that is maintained in equipressure by a suitable control loop. Experimental problems related to this arrangement are discussed. A test of the apparatus with a known product (benzoic acid) has been performed. The results have been found to be in good accordance with data found in the literature.
