for Process Safety: Comprehensive Safety and Health-Related Data
for Hydrocarbons and Organic Chemicals (Selected Data for Inorganic
Chemicals). Houston: Gulf Publishing Co.
This volume is part of the Library of Physico-Chemical Property
Data and presents a variety of thermodynamic and physical property
data. The data selected is geared for professionals in chemical
process design, and as such, has much more emphasis on properties
such as vapor pressure (detailed vapor pressure vs. temperature
charts are included) than other compendia. There is also an
emphasis in selection on compounds of interest to process
engineers.
