NOTE 11—At 101.3 kPa, toluene is shown in reference manuals as
boiling at 110.6°C when measured using a partial immersion thermometer.
Because this test method uses thermometers calibrated for total
immersion, the results typically will be lower and, depending on the
thermometer and the situation, may be different for each thermometer. At
101.3 kPa, hexadecane is shown in reference manuals as boiling at
287.0°C when measured using a partial immersion thermometer. Because
this test method uses thermometers calibrated for total immersion, the results typically will be lower, and, depending on the thermometer and the
situation, may be different for each thermometer.
