Volatile and Vapour Pressure Pans

Volatile sample pans are used with volatile solid or liquid samples which exert significant vapor pressure at the temperature of interest. They are available in both aluminum and gold.

They are sealed using the Universal Crimper press (B013-9005) and sealing insert (B014-4637)

Benefits :

They can withstand an internal pressure of 2 atm (30 psi).

Aqueous solutions can be scanned up to and through 100°C to observe solute behavior.

The heats of fusion of materials that sublime can be determined can be determined accurately.

The effect of an enclosed atmosphere on thermal behavior of a sample can be observed.

These are small sample pans with have an effective volume of 10 ml

Covers with 50m-pinhole lids are available for measurement of boiling points, heats of vaporization, and sublimation temperatures.

Applications:

The major applications for this type of pan are purity analyses (i.e., pharmaceuticals, melting of lipids or liquid crystals) and phase transitions, heat of vaporization, and boiling points.
