The vapour pressures as a function of temperature of the methyl esters of alkanoic acids from butanoic to eicosanoic acid, have been measured using two different techniques: the static diaphragm and spinning rotor manometry and the combined torsion mass-loss effusion. Combined with data available from literature, the new data have been processed using the thermodynamic regression equation proposed by Clarke and Glew. The results of this research are reliable vapour pressures and the thermodynamic properties of vaporisation.
