NASA Tech Briefs announce now technology derived from the U.S. space program. They are issued to encourage 
commercial application. Tech Briefs are available on a subscription basis from the National Technical Information 
Service. Springfield. Virginia 22151. Requests for individual copies or questions relating to the Tech Brief program may 
be directed to the Technology Utilization Office. NASA, Code KT, Washington. D.C. 20546. 
Handbook on Thermophysical Properties of Oxygen 
Cryogenic fluids have been used extensively in the 
space program. Many of these fluids are also being used or 
considered for use in ground transportation systems, 
power generation systems and major industrial applica-
tions. NASA's Aerospace Safety Research and Data 
Institute, located at the NASA Lewis Research Center, 
collects, evaluates, and organizes safety-related informa-
tion on cryogenic fluids for use by NASA and others. As a 
part of this effort, a handbook on the thermophysical 
properties of oxygen has been compiled for NASA by the 
Cryogenic Data Center of the National Bureau of 
Standards. 
This handbook covers thermodynamic functions, 
physical properties and heat transfer data for oxygen. The 
properties reviewed include accommodation coefficient, 
dielectric constant, enthalpy, entropy, heat capacity, 
phase diagram, Prandtl number, surface tension, vapor 
pressure, viscosity, and over forty other properties. The 
handbook addresses primarily the low temperature 
regime, i.e., the liquid and dense gas states, but also 
includes some data above room temperature. The data are 
presented descriptively, graphically and in tables. Also 
included is a bibliography of over 1500 reference sources 
for the data compiled. 
Notes: 
1. The data in this handbook are detailed beyond that 
previously available; therefore, this handbook is useful 
to both the scientific and the technical communities.
