Water pressure, volume, temperature

AI Thread Summary
Accurate data for water pressures and temperatures at constant volume is essential for testing aerosol canister limits. The user is conducting an experiment by sealing water in a canister and applying heat to measure pressure changes. It is noted that at boiling point (100°C), the pressure of water is 1 atm in a closed system, which will increase according to the saturated liquid water table. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between temperature and pressure in a closed system. This information is crucial for safely conducting the experiment.

Hi There

Can some one please help me find a table or chart that has accurate data for water pressures and temperatures at constant volume. I'm testing how much pressure an aerosole canister can take by filling it with water, sealing it and applying a flame tourch. I know how much heat the trouch is putting out, so I'm timing how long it'll take for the can to blow out. From this and the heat capacity I can get the temperature of the water, but now I'm having serious difficulty finding the pressure of the water given the temperature and volume. Any help please?

It has just dawned upon me that, in fact, the pressure of the water at boiling point (100C) is 1 atm. Hence if it is a closed system, that pressure will increase according to the standard saturated liquid water table. Thanks a lot.
