Cryogenic Material Properties Calculators
This page provides a few calculator tools for richer inspection of the data contained in the Cryogenic Material Property Database. Please use the buttons below to explore the various capabilities:
Temperature Calculator
Credit:
- Calculator originally designed by Arya D. Keni (2018 NIST Associate; Aditya Birla World Academy, Mumbai, India; Present address (2020): Penn State University, USA)
- Implemented and integrated by Joshua Taillon (NIST Office of Data and Informatics )
The following calculator will compute (from the material property database) the temperature at which the material has the specified property value. A temperature range must be given and may be less than the equation range. If the specified property value is not in the given temperature range, no output is given. The calculator will show multiple solutions if they exist. A graph of the property is also displayed over the given temperature range for additional information. The resulting plot can be saved using the button beneath the chart.
Please be sure to enter temperature values only within the specified range for each material and property combination. Values calculated outside the range will be inaccurate, as the data cannot be reliably extrapolated.
- The number of decimal places output is only as accurate as the underlying data. Do not rely on this output for enhanced precision.
- Experimental data may have a higher uncertainty, so please adhere to the specified uncertainty in the dropdown list for each material.
- Since temperature is an inverse function of the property values, it does not have an uncertainty (experimentally or theoretically) as the values are recorded by a digital sensor
- The outputs in the plot will be the closest temperature values (with slight deviations) of the inputted Material and Property Values
- The graph displayed on this page is given to simply help visualize the inverse relationship (of a temperature output as a function of property value).
Instructions
Please select the material and property of interest from the dropdown menu and enter the temperature range/increment level (in K) within mentioned range. Input a property value to have the tool return the temperature values that approximately result in that value for the property:
