This latest edition contains revised tables in international units; the sources of data, methods of calculation, and formats for tabulating the evaluated results remain the same. The property values given in Tables 1 through 24 were reevaluated at selected temperatures in Kelvin (k) and at P=101.325 kPa (1 atm.). The explanatory text "Sources of Data and Methods of Calculation," and the chapter "Examples," is essentially unchanged with minimum adjustment for employing different units for recalculation.
