What it does

About 165 fluids

128 pure fluids, 14 aqueous solutions, 12 heat transfer fluids and liquid metals, petroleum fractions by API gravity and Watson K, and gas mixtures.

Everything for heat transfer

Phase, boiling point and latent heat, density, specific heat, enthalpy, viscosity, thermal conductivity and Prandtl number.

Accurate enthalpy

Pure liquids within ±0.1 % and vapours within ±1 % of reference equations of state.

Property table

Values over a temperature range, with charts.

Clear limits

Warnings near the critical point and outside each fluid's data range.

Same library as the heat exchanger tools

Results match the heat exchanger workbooks exactly.

Built for engineers

  • Visible formulas — nothing hidden, so you can check every step.
  • Fully referenced — methods from the standard references, checked against their published worked examples.
  • Safe to share — sheets are protected against accidental edits, with an open password so you can still customise.
  • Built-in input checks — clear warnings for impossible inputs and values outside typical ranges.

For engineering estimates; verify against site data. Code-based methods are aligned with the publicly documented procedure; they are not a licensed reproduction or a certification.
