ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Vapor pressure of liquid compositions is measured by a system having a cylinder member in which a reciprocal piston is disposed for movement to contain a sample of liquid and expand the chamber while measuring the pressure in the chamber until a substantially constant pressure is reached with increasing chamber volume. Liquid is circulated from a source such as a petroleum pipeline to the apparatus and continually through the expansible chamber in a retracted position of the piston. When a sample vapor pressure measurement is to be taken, the piston closes off a passage leading to the chamber and displaces liquid out of the chamber until a minimum volume is reached. The movement of the piston is then reversed to increase chamber volume while monitoring pressure and temperature to detect the onset of cavitation. Different samples of the same liquid may be taken while permitting the maximum volume of the chamber to vary with each sample so that a plot of maximum or equilibrium pressures can be obtained as a function of chamber size whereby extrapolation may be used to determine true vapor pressure of the composition.
