The evaporation rate is a measure of how quickly the material becomes a vapour at normal room temperature. Usually, the evaporation rate is given in comparison to certain chemicals, such as butyl acetate, which evaporate fairly quickly. For example, the rate might be given as "0.5 (butyl acetate=1)." This means that, under specific conditions, 0.5 grams of the material evaporates during the same time that 1 gram of butyl acetate evaporates. Often, the evaporation rate is given only as greater or less than 1, which means the material evaporates faster or slower than the comparison chemical. In general, a hazardous material with a higher evaporation rate presents a greater hazard than a similar compound with a lower evaporation rate. 3, record 1, English, - evaporation%20rate

Traduire «rate» par «taux» c'est tomber dans un piège selon nous. Il s'agit ici d'une vitesse, pas d'un taux. 1, record 1, French, - vitesse%20d%27%C3%A9vaporation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le taux d'évaporation est une valeur qui indique avec quelle rapidité le produit s'évapore à une température ambiante normale. On donne ordinairement le taux d'évaporation du produit par rapport à celui d'un solvant qui s'évapore plutôt rapidement, par exemple : «0,5 (acétate de butyle=1)». Cela veut dire que dans des conditions spécifiques, 0,5 grammes du produit s'évapore dans le même temps que 1 gramme d'acétate de butyle. Il arrive souvent qu'on dise simplement que le taux d'évaporation est «supérieur à 1» ou «inférieur à 1», c'est-à-dire qu'il s'évapore plus rapidement ou moins rapidement que le produit auquel on le compare. En général, le danger que présente une substance toxique augmente avec le taux d'évaporation. 3, record 1, French, - vitesse%20d%27%C3%A9vaporation
