Pickling oils used in iron/steel industry

We need to find sources of data on VAPOR PRESSURE VS (elevated)temperature of so-called Pickling oils as used in Iron/steel processing. Any leads to data much appreciated. We are a startup looking into some novel processing concepts.

testing vapor pressure oils
By typing the above key words in a search engine, I found many references to determining vapor pressures. Even some ads for mini automatic equipment and one ad for software that predicts vapor pressure based on the molecular structure of the oil.

If you have a proprietary pickling product, you can ask the vendor.
