Modular system for Reid Vapour Pressure
Test
The Petrotest Reid Vapour Pressure Test system utilises a semi-automatic apparatus immersed in a horizontal bath and rotated while attaining equilibrium
The Reid Vapour Pressure Test Method is used in the manufacture of fuels, gasoline, jet fuels and solvents The methods described in ASTM D 323-A, ASTM D 323-C, ISO 3007-A, ISO 3007-C, ISO 3007-D, FTM 791-1201, IP 69-A, IP 69-D and JIS K2258 cover procedures for the determination of vapour pressure of gasoline, volatile crude oil, and other volatile petroleum products

They are used to determine the vapour pressure at 37.8C (100F) of petroleum products and crude oils with initial boiling point above 0C (32F).
The Reid-vapour pressure is defined as the absolute hydrocarbon vapour pressure exerted by a liquid under specific conditions.
The Petrotest system utilises a semi-automatic apparatus immersed in a horizontal bath and rotated while attaining equilibrium.
The modular system uses baths with three or six test places, digital and analog manometers and liquid chambers with one or two openings, according to the test procedure.
A complete system including all accessories is available from Labtex as follows: vapour pressure test equipment comprising: Reid-Vapour Pressure Vessel (consisting of: liquid chamber, vapour chamber and lowering chain, digital or analogue manometers and a suitable thermostatic bath.
