Additional Information
Equation of state
The uncertainty in density of the equation of state is 0.0001% at 1 atm in the liquid phase, and 0.001% at other liquid states at
pressures up to 10 MPa and temperatures to 423 K. In the vapor phase, the uncertainty is 0.05% or less. The uncertainties rise at
higher temperatures and/or pressures, but are generally less than 0.1% in density except at extreme conditions. The uncertainty in
pressure in the critical region is 0.1%. The uncertainty of the speed of sound is 0.15% in the vapor and 0.1% or less in the liquid,
and increases near the critical region and at high temperatures and pressures. The uncertainty in isobaric heat capacity is 0.2% in
the vapor and 0.1% in the liquid, with increasing values in the critical region and at high pressures. The uncertainties of saturation
conditions are 0.025% in vapor pressure, 0.0025% in saturated liquid density, and 0.1% in saturated vapor density. The
uncertainties in the saturated densities increase substantially as the critical region is approached.
Thermal conductivity

Viscosity
For the uncertainties in the viscosity, see the IAPWS Release.
Surface tension
For the uncertainties in surface tension, see the IAPWS Release.

Important Information About This Data

The data above are from the prior 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 8) of this database in the the
next couple of months. Information on REFPROP version 8 can be found here.
REFPROP version 8 includes additional data and features not available from this site.
