§218.111. Vapor Pressure of Volatile Organic Material
-
a) If the VOM 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 VOM is in a mixture made up of both VOM compounds and compounds which are not VOM, the vapor pressure shall be determined by the following equation:
where:
Pvom
=
Total vapor pressure of the portion of the mixture which is composed of VOM;
n
=
Number of VOM components in the mixture;
i
=
Subscript denoting an individual component;
Pi
=
Vapor pressure of a VOM component determined in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section;
Xi
=
Mole fraction of the VOM component of the total organic mixture.
c) If the VOM is in a mixture made up of only VOM 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.
