Additional Information
Thermal conductivity
Uncertainty in thermal conductivity is 3%, except in the critical region and dilute gas which have an uncertainty of 5%.
Viscosity
The uncertainty in viscosity varies from 0.4% in the dilute gas between room temperature and 600 K, to about 2.5% from 100 to 475 K up to about 30 MPa, and to about 4% outside this range.
Auxiliary model
N.B. all temperatures on IPTS-68
Dielectric constant
The uncertainty in dielectric constant is 0.05%.
Important Information About This Data
The data above are from an older version of the NIST Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties Database (REFPROP version 7). We will be updating our site to use the newer version (version 9.1) of this database in the the next couple of months. Information on REFPROP version 9.1 can be found here. REFPROP version 9.1 includes additional data and features not available from this site.
