Standard Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) (Expansion Method)

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Information on the vapor pressures of liquefied petroleum gas is pertinent to selection of properly designed storage vessels, shipping containers, and customer utilization equipment to ensure safe handling of these products.

5.2 Determination of the vapor pressure of liquefied petroleum gas is important for safety reasons to ensure that the maximum operating design pressures of storage, handling, and fuel systems will not be exceeded under normal operating temperature conditions.

5.3 For liquefied petroleum gases, vapor pressure can be considered a semi-quantitative measure of the amount of the most volatile material present in the product.

5.4 This test method uses a small sample volume and excludes any manual handling of a measuring chamber under high pressure.
