Absolute vapor pressure of petrofuels is found by Reid bomb which is heated in water bath to 100°F. In Reid apparatus, the ratio of the volume of air chamber to that of the liquid fuel chamber is________________?

Correct answer: A. 4

  • A. 4
  • B. 3
  • C. 2
  • D. 1

Explanation

The Reid vapor-pressure bomb uses an air chamber four times the volume of the liquid chamber, giving an air-to-liquid volume ratio of 4:1. This fixed geometry standardises the reported vapour pressure.
