NIST - Physical and Chemical Properties Division

Current Programs Research Groups	The Physical and Chemical Properties Division is the Nation's reference laboratory for measurements, standards, data, and models for: the thermophysical and thermochemical properties of gases, liquids, and solids - both pure materials and mixtures the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions in the gas and liquid phases fluid-based physical processes and systems, including separations, low-temperature refrigeration, and low-temperature heat transfer and flow.
Selected Technical Highlights Technical Outputs and Interactions 15th Symposium on Thermophysical Properties Boulder, CO June 22-27, 2003 NIST Chemistry WebBook NIST Databases Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) Additional Information Organizational Contacts	The Physical and Chemical Properties Division is one of five divisions in the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory (CSTL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Division provides technical research and services, Standard Reference Data, Standard Reference Materials, and calibrations to promote U.S. economic growth and to assist U.S. industry, other government agencies, and academia in solving problems of national importance. With research groups in both Gaithersburg, MD and Boulder, CO, the Physical and Chemical Properties Division serves several functions. In the areas of thermophysics, thermochemistry, and kinetics, the Division develops, maintains, and uses state-of-the-art apparatus to perform experimental measurements on industrially and scientifically important systems compiles, evaluates, and correlates experimental data develops and evaluates state-of-the-art theories, models, estimation methods, and computational approaches disseminates results by a wide variety of mechanisms. In the area of cryogenic technologies, the Division provides engineering data, models, and research to support the development of advanced cryocoolers, and measurement methods, standards, and services for flow under cryogenic conditions.
