Reid vapor pressure (RVP) of gasoline is the vapor pressure at 100°F.

The optimum Reid Vapour Pressure (RVP) for transporting crude oil typically ranges between 8 to 12 psi, depending on the specific characteristics of the crude and regulatory requirements. Maintaining this range helps minimize the risk of vaporization and ensures safe transport while reducing emissions. Higher RVP values can lead to increased volatility and potential handling issues, while lower values may indicate heavier, less desirable crude. Ultimately, the target RVP should balance safety, regulatory compliance, and the physical properties of the crude oil.
Use the Equation of State (EOS) in combination with the Antoine's Equation to determine vapor pressure.
Depends on temperature. For ASTM D323 the RVP of water is ~49.5 mmHg (torr) gauge or ~809 mmHg absolute (assuming standard pressure). FYI - ASTM D323 is measured at 100F.
Teflon is inert to gasoline and all petroleum products. The problem with Teflon is it cold flows under pressure so that when tightened (when wrapped around your fitting) it will relax eventually and probably not seal properly. This is not something you want where gasoline can leak.

Under the ASTM Method D 323 (Reid vapour pressure), it is the absolute vapour pressure exerted by a liquid at 100°F. The higher this value, the more volatile the sample and the more readily it will evaporate. Unlike distillation data, vapour pressure provides a single value that reflects the combined effect of the individual vapour pressure of the different petroleum fractions in accordance with their mole ratios. It is thus possible for two wholly different products to exhibit the same vapour pressure at the same temperature - provided the cumulative pressures exerted by the fractions are the same. A narrow-cut distillate, for example, may exhibit the same vapour pressure as that of a dumbbell blend, where the effect of heavy fractions is counterbalanced by that of the lighter ones. In conjunction with other volatility data. Reid vapour pressure plays a role in the prediction of gasoline performance.

The amount of light components in the oil affect the reid vapor vapor pressure. In petroleum products such as gasoline, the amount of butane in the gasoline blend has a strong affect on the Reid Vapor Pressure. To reduce RVP more stripping steam can be added to the product strippers. The fractionation in the debutanizer might also need to be adjusted to affect the RVP.
Gasoline is usually a liquid. Although it has a low evaporation Point and easily turns into vapour.
The amount of vapor generated from 1 liter of gasoline at 35°C can vary based on the specific composition of the gasoline, but on average, gasoline has a vapor pressure of about 40-50 kPa at this temperature. Generally, approximately 150 to 200 milliliters of vapor can be generated from 1 liter of gasoline under these conditions. However, these values can fluctuate based on factors like the exact formulation of the gasoline and ambient pressure.
evaporation as such influence on the total pressure. evaporation occurs when the total pressure is greater than the surface molecules vapour pressure. as the rate of evaporation increases , more vapour will be there at the top, and then the new total pressure will become the sum of the earlier total pressure and vapour pressure of the vapour evaporated. hence total pressure increases.............
Crude oil, by heating it and distilling the vapour produced.
Gasoline expanse and contracts with temperature.
The partial pressure of water (vapor) is included in the total pressure of the atmosphere (air) when boiling.
The typical Reid vapor pressure range in naphtha is between 2 to 15 pounds per square inch (psi). Reid vapor pressure is a measure of the vapor pressure of volatile petroleum products, including naphtha. High Reid vapor pressure indicates increased volatility.
