Oxygen · O2

Oxygen (O2, CAS 7782-44-7) is an industrial and utility gas; this page gives its density, heat capacity and viscosity from 1 to 200 bar and -20 to 100 °C.

Values are computed from CoolProp==6.6.0 - reference Helmholtz equation of state for Oxygen (single-phase density, isobaric heat capacity and dynamic viscosity) and tabulated over 1200 bar (absolute) and -20100 °C.

Read a value at any pressure and temperature

Set a pressure (bar absolute) and a temperature (°C) to interpolate between the tabulated grid points. The readout and chart never go outside the validated 1200 bar and -20100 °C range, and every number is interpolated from the committed table below — nothing is computed from an equation of state in your browser.

Values are interpolated between the tabulated grid points below — pressure (bar absolute) and temperature (°C) stay within the validated 1200 bar and -20100 °C range and are never extrapolated.

Validation

Checked against cited values

The equation of state is cross-checked against independently cited NIST WebBook reference points — a near-ambient and a compressed density, plus the heat-capacity and viscosity columns. The page is published only because every check passes.

Limitations

Before you use these numbers

  • CoolProp reference Helmholtz equation of state (Schmidt & Wagner, 1985) for oxygen; dynamic viscosity from the Lemmon & Jacobsen, 2004 model. Single-phase density, isobaric heat capacity and dynamic viscosity, tabulated on a 1-200 bar (absolute) by -20 to 100 degC grid; two-phase, saturation and liquid states are out of scope for this page. The correlation is not extrapolated beyond the tabulated range. Values are for preliminary design; verify against vendor or reference data for critical service.
  • Every tabulated state is single-phase. A grid cell is left blank only where the state at that pressure and temperature would be two-phase or liquid - at or above the saturation pressure at that temperature - and the explorer will not interpolate across such a cell. Because the critical temperature of oxygen is -118.57 degC, below the -20 degC floor of this grid, every (pressure, temperature) point tabulated here is a supercritical single-phase fluid, so no cell is blank.
  • Values are tabulated only inside the 1200 bar and -20100 °C ranges shown; the equation of state is not extrapolated beyond them here.
  • Use for preliminary design; verify for critical service.
