Additional Information
Equation of state
The uncertainties in density for benzene are 1% in the vapor phase, 0.3% in the liquid phase up to 400 K (with lower uncertainties
at lower temperatures), 1% in the liquid phase between 400 and 500 K, and 2% and rising at temperatures above 500 K. Near
the saturation line at temperatures below 350 K, the liquid phase uncertainty decreases to 0.05%. The uncertainties in vapor
pressures are 0.15% at temperatures below 380 K, and 0.5% at higher temperatures. The uncertainties in heat capacities and
sound speeds are 2% in the vapor phase and 5% in the liquid phase.

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.
