Hello everyone,

I have a challenge!

I need some ideas for measuring the boiling point of various fluids. The
specific gravity of one fluid is approx 1.03, very close to water. The
accuracy I am looking for is +/- 3 %. I am looking for creative options, the
simplier the better.

The boiling points may be as high as 500 degress F. A very small sample of
fluid will be tested 3-10 ml. I believe I will use a small electric heating
probe (hot wire) to quickly raise the temperature. The tesing time should be
between 30-60 seconds. The higher the boiling point the longer the test.

Can I look for the presence of vapor is a closed system; measure the current
of the probe and watch for reaction at boiling point, measure pressure changes
or pulsations as the fluid boils?

I would appreciate any code snippits that help. Thanks in advance.

Jon
