Method to estimate saturated vapor pressure From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lee–Kesler method [1] allows the estimation of the saturated vapor pressure at a given temperature for all components for which the critical pressure Pc, the critical temperature Tc, and the acentric factor ω are known.

The prediction error can be up to 10% for polar components and small pressures and the calculated pressure is typically too low. For pressures above 1 bar, that means, above the normal boiling point, the typical errors are below 2%. [2]
For benzene with
the following calculation for T = Tb results:
The correct result would be P = 101.325 kPa, the normal (atmospheric) pressure. The deviation is −1.63 kPa or −1.61 %.
It is important to use the same absolute units for T and Tc as well as for P and Pc. The unit system used (K or R for T) is irrelevant because of the usage of the reduced values Tr and Pr.
