Equation of state
Guder, C.; Wagner, W., A Reference Equation of State for the Thermodynamic Properties of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) for Temperatures from the Melting Line to 625 K and Pressures up to 150 MPa, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, 2009, 38, 1, 33-94, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3037344 . [all data]The uncertainties in density are 0.02% for temperatures less than 340 K (<30 MPa), 0.03% for temperatures below 500 K (<30 MPa), 0.1% increasing to 0.3% at temperatures above 500 K, and 0.2% for all temperatures at pressures above 30 MPa increasing to 1% at the pressure limits of the equation of state. In the critical region, the uncertainty in pressure is 0.01%. The uncertainties in the speed of sound range from 0.1% at the lowest temperatures in the gas phase, to 0.5% in the liquid, and to 1-2% elsewhere. The uncertainties in heat capacities are generally within 2%, decreasing to 0.2% at the lowest pressures in the vapor phase; below 400 K and above 20 MPa, the uncertainties are 5%. The uncertainty in vapor pressure is 0.01%.

Viscosity

Data, 2012, 41, 2, 023102, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3702441 . [all data]In the low-pressure (less than 0.33 MPa) region from 300 K to 700 K the estimated uncertainty is 0.3%. In the region from 300 K to 425 K for pressures less than 20 MPa, the estimated uncertainty is less than 1%. Where there were data available for validation at temperatures from 230 K to 575 K for pressures up to 50 MPa, the estimated uncertainty is 2%. The correlation extrapolates in a physically reasonable manner and may be used at pressures to 100 MPa and temperatures from the triple point to 1000 K.
Thermal conductivity

Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, 2012, 41, 2, 023104, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4708620 . [all data]The overall uncertainty is estimated, for pressures less than 150 MPa and temperatures less than 1000 K, to be less than 4%.
