Everything you wanted to know about Evaporation Rates. The evaporation rate of a solvent is determined to obtain relative value to some standard, selected solvent. The solvent selection depends on reasons for solvent use and the type of solvent and it is usually agreed upon between interested parties.
In Europe, diethyl ether is the most frequently used reference solvent and in the US butyl acetate.
The evaporation rate of other solvents is determined under identical conditions and the resultant values are used to rank solvents. The evaporation rate is the ratio of the time required to evaporate a test solvent to the time required to evaporate the reference solvent under identical conditions.
For halogenated solvents used in cleaning applications, the relative evaporation rate is compared either to xylene or perchloroethylene.
The determination is done on a test panel using 10 ml of solvent.
