A design of and initial results from a Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometer (KEMS) are presented. The design was adapted from high temperature alloy studies with a view to using it to measure vapour pressures for low volatility organics. The system uses a temperature controlled cell with an effusive orifice. This produces a molecular beam which is sampled by a quadropole mass spectrometer with electron impact ionization calibrated to a known vapour pressure. We have determined P-(298K) and Delta H-sub of the first 5 saturated straight chain dicarboxylic acids: 2.15 +/- 1.19x10(-2) Pa and 75 +/- 19 KJ mol(-1) respectively for oxalic acid, 5.73 +/- 1.14x10(-4) Pa and 91 +/- 4 KJ mol(-1) for Malonic acid, 1.13 +/- 0.47x10(-4) Pa and 93 +/- 6 KJ mol(-1) for Succinic acid, 4.21 +/- 1.66x10(-4) Pa and 123 +/- 22 KJ mol(-1) for Glutaric acid and 6.09 +/- 3.85x10(-6) Pa and 125 +/- 40 KJ mol(-1) for Adipic acid.
