The Vapor Pressures Of Crystalline Organic Compounds

Data for vapor pressures less that one millimeter of mercury for over three hundred organic compounds have been collected. The values are presented in tabular form. No attempt has been made to evaluate the reliability of these data except where several investigators have studied the same compound over the same pressure range. A brief discussion of the methods and instruments which have been used to measure low vapor pressures is included.

Thermodynamic properties of fluids are vital information for design, operation and maintenance in the fluid processing or continuous manufacturing industries. Among the thermodynamic properties, some are more important and pervasive with vapor pressure being possibly the most important of all. Practical handling of any fluid requires knowledge of its vapor pressure, and vapor pressure (or boiling point) is invariably among the first properties measured for any substance. These volumes should be of value to professionals in a wide variety of commercial and academic activities because they present vapor pressures for such a wide variety of organic compounds. A general introduction acquaints the user with the basic concepts and experimental methods of the field.
