Vapor Pressure of Common Solvents

This document lists the vapour pressures in bars of common solvents such as alcohols, acids, ketones, and hydrocarbons at temperatures ranging from 100 to 250 degrees Celsius. It provides the vapour pressures as absolute values to aid in selecting appropriate back pressure regulators for vacuum evaporation or distillation. Back pressure regulators of 250, 100, and 350 PSI are recommended for most solvents, with higher pressure systems needed above 500 PSI.

All vapour pressures


shown are absolute values
in bar

Recommended back
pressure regulator (BPR)
with values shown in PSI
100
250
350
500
600
Use high pressure system

Vapourtec recommends
where possible using
several BPRs in series
rather than one large BPR.

350 = 250 + 100


500 = 250 + 250
600 = 250 + 250 + 100
