Finding Thermodynamic and Physical Property Data
Where to Start
- CRC handbook of chemistry and physics.
-
Web version with interactive tables and PDF text.
Published annually by CRC Press. Many editions on the Handbook Table.
- Almost every data search on a chemical property should begin in the CRC. Consult the index under the property in question.
- DIPPR Physical and Thermodynamic Properties
-
TP 200 D39 Reference (Taylor & Francis, 1999)
- The Design Institute for Physical Property Data (DIPPR) Project 801 database consists of experimental data and correlations of temperature-dependent properties for over 1,900 pure organic chemicals. Collected data have been evaluated, correlated, and checked for thermodynamic consistency. From this site, you can view data sets, DIPPR-approved property constants, and regressed correlation coefficients for temperature-dependent properties, as well as calculate temperature-dependent properties in any set of units. Searchable by chemical name, CAS registry number, empirical and structural formulas, and numeric property ranges.
- NIST Chemistry WebBook
- A free web site providing reliable thermophysical and spectral data for a few thousand important compounds. Much of the data is derived from prior NIST/NBS publications. Searchable by name, CAS registry number, formula, molecular weight, etc.
- NIST-TRC Web Thermo Tables
- The TRC Thermodynamic Tables database offers a collection of critically evaluated thermodynamic property data primarily for pure organic compounds. As of January 2008 it contains information on 7765 compounds with 890,684 evaluated data points. Searchable by name/segment, formula, and molecular weight. Interactive plotting is performed with Ptplot Java Applet.
- ThermoDex
- ThermoDex is a guide to identifying nearly 300 specialized property handbooks and compilations in the library, searchable by type of compound and name of property. While some Web-based resources are included, most compilations indexed in ThermoDex exist in printed form only, and must be consulted in the library. ThermoDex is a meta-index and does not contain the actual data.
