Handbook of Cryogenic Data in Graphic Form 
A Handbook of Cryogenic Data has been compiled 
and contains in graphic form significant and useful 
cryogenic data from various sources. The data are 
recalculated where necessary to convert from the 
metric to the British system of units and to extend 
the range of available values. 
The handbook includes such information as: the boil-
ing heat transfer rate from copper to liquid nitrogen: 
temperature-enthalpy functions for liquid nitrogen: 
saturated liquid/gas -relations; linear contractions of 
tenon, stainless steel, and other materials of construc-
tion; and gaseous air density and compressibility fac-
tors versus pressure. 
The handbook concentrates extensive data on com-
mon materials of construction and properties of fluids 
frequently encountered in designing cryogenic sys-
tems. Organized into a series of graphs, this infor-
mation would be a convenient reference work for the 
design engineer. Most of the data presented are avail-
able from various sources, such as technical reports, 
journals and textbooks; however, for the engineer to 
gather the needed information, extend the range of 
values, and convert all figures to a common system 
of units is laborious and time consuming.
All data are presented in the British system of units. 
The range of values given in many of the graphs has 
been extended by calculating values using the accepted 
equations of state, plotting the results, and verifying the 
extended portions of the curves with experimental 
and operational data.
