Data on the densities of organic compounds is essential for both scientific and industrial applications. A knowledge of densities is important in many areas, including custody transfer of materials, product specification, development of various predictive methods, and for characterizing compounds and estimating their purity. The densities of normal and branched alkanes are collected from the original literature published from 1863 to early 1996. All the values were critically evaluated. The tables contain the original literature data, along with their estimated uncertainties, and the evaluated data, in both numerical form and as coefficients to equations with selected statistical information. The volume also contains the CASR Number Index and a Chemical Name Index.

This title is a revision of Experimental Thermodynamics Volume II, published in 1975, reflecting the significant technological developments and new methods introduced into the study of measurement of thermodynamic quantities.
The editors of this volume were assigned the task of assembling an international team of distinguished experimentalists, to describe the current state of development of the techniques of measurement of the thermodynamic quantities of single phases. The resulting volume admirably fulfils this brief and contains a valuable summary of a large variety of experimental techniques applicable over a wide range of thermodynamic states with an emphasis on the precision and accuracy of the results obtained. Those interested in the art of measurements, and in particular engaged in the measurement of thermodynamic properties, will find this material invaluable for the guidance it provides towards the development of new and more accurate techniques.
-Provides detailed descriptions of experimental chemical thermodynamic methods
-Strong practical bias and includes both detailed working equations and figures for the experimental methods
-Most comprehensive text in this field since the publication of Experimental Thermodynamics II
