I am trying to do some preliminary work on a crude project, and have been warned that the particular crude has exhibited high vapor-pressure properties.

In the lab assays, I have alot of informtion, but no direct RVP or vapor pressure info. How do I convert to get TVP or RVP? Useing D86 Distillation data? Simulated distillation? Other data? Just looking for a quick range of VP, to see if I need to anticipate IFR, vapor recovery, etc.
