How do Vapor Tension Thermometers work?
Vapor Tension Thermometers also known as Vapor Pressure Thermometers essential use use a pressure gauge to measure the vapor pressure of a liquid. The pressure of the gas is converted to temperature by means of a Bourden gauge which represents temperature over calibrated scale having cramped rulings.
The following table is a list of a variety of substances ordered by increasing vapor pressure (in absolute units) with temperature also shown.
| Substance | Vapor Pressure (SI units) | Vapor Pressure (Bar); | Vapor Pressure (mmHg); | Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tungsten | 100 Pa | 0.001 | 0.75 | 3203 °C |
| Ethylene glycol | 500 Pa | 0.005 | 3.75 | 20 °C |
| Xenon difluoride | 600 Pa | 0.006 | 4.50 | 25 °C |
| Water (H2O) | 2.3 kPa | 0.023 | 17.5 | 20 °C |
| Propanol | 2.4 kPa | 0.024 | 18.0 | 20 °C |
| Ethanol | 5.83 kPa | 0.0583 | 43.7 | 20 °C |
| Methyl isobutyl ketone | 2.66 kPa | 0.0266 | 19.95 | 25 °C |
| Freon 113 | 37.9 kPa | 0.379 | 284 | 20 °C |
| Acetaldehyde | 98.7 kPa | 0.987 | 740 | 20 °C |
| Butane | 220 kPa | 2.2 | 1650 | 20 °C |
| Formaldehyde | 435.7 kPa | 4.357 | 3268 | 20 °C |
| Propane | 997.8 kPa | 9.978 | 7584 | 26.85 °C |
| Carbonyl sulfide | 1.255 MPa | 12.55 | 9412 | 25 °C |
