The Antoine Equation Calculator is a precision engineering calculation tool designed for students, engineers, and technical professionals. Vapor pressure from Antoine equation for 20+ chemicals: T→P_sat, P→T_boiling, and multi-substance P vs T comparison chart All calculations are performed using established engineering formulas from the relevant scientific literature and standards. Inputs support both metric (SI) and imperial unit systems, with unit conversion handled automatically — simply select your preferred unit from the dropdown next to each field. Results are computed instantly in the browser without sending data to a server, ensuring both speed and privacy. This calculator is intended as a supplementary tool for learning and design exploration; always verify results against authoritative references for safety-critical applications.

The Antoine equation is a semi-empirical formula for vapor pressure of pure liquids as a function of temperature: log₁₀(P) = A − B/(C + T), where P is vapor pressure (usually in mmHg or Pa), T is temperature (usually in °C or K), and A, B, C are material-specific constants determined by fitting to experimental data. The equation is valid over the temperature range for which the constants were fitted, typically from freezing point to critical temperature for well-characterized substances. Outside this range, the equation can give wildly inaccurate results. Antoine constants are tabulated in Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook, NIST WebBook, DIPPR, and other references for thousands of compounds. The inverse relationship gives temperature from pressure: T = B/(A − log₁₀(P)) − C, useful for finding the boiling point at a specific pressure. At standard atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg), this gives the 'normal boiling point.' The Antoine equation is fundamental to: bubble point and dew point calculations, distillation design (VLE analysis), cryogenic system design, and thermodynamic property calculations. For mixtures, Raoult's law combines individual Antoine equations: P_total = Σ x_i · P_i^sat(T). Modifications like the 'extended Antoine' include additional temperature terms for better fit over wider ranges. The calculator uses stored Antoine constants for 20+ common chemicals to compute P_sat(T) and T_boil(P).

• •Distillation column design: compute vapor pressures of components at various temperatures for VLE and bubble/dew point calculations.
• •Process safety analysis: compute maximum expected vapor pressure in storage tanks for sizing relief valves and containment systems.
• •Volatility and evaporation rate: estimate how fast a liquid will evaporate at a given temperature from its vapor pressure.
• •Cryogenic system design: compute boiling temperatures of liquids at sub-atmospheric pressures for vacuum chambers and cryogenic plants.
• •Flash point prediction: relate vapor pressure to ignition hazards in flammable liquid storage and handling.
