“…As described in the introduction, activities by the IUPAC subcommittees, the IACT, and the IATP in the past and present are excellent examples of the international collaboration of experts for critical evaluation of experimental data under the leadership of Professor W. A. Wakeham for many years. [7][8][9]29 For some of the specific substances, efforts by experts, for example, International Association for Properties of Water and Steam, have made a substantial contribution to the critical evaluation of thermophysical property data. 29,30 It has been pointed out that a common format will enhance efficient exchange and sharing of these evaluations on thermophysical property data.…”

To improve the performance of devices, components, and systems where the control of heat and fluid flow are necessary, the quality and reliability of the thermophysical property data are of primary importance. Recently, the present authors have worked for both printed media, a new handbook, on thermophysical properties and a networking database system. From this experience, the authors realized different advantages of both tools and started to explore function sharing and collaboration of these tools. The present paper describes the conceptual trials although the study is in its early stage. The Thermophysical Properties Handbook edited by the Japan Society of Thermophysical Properties (JSTP) first published in 1990 was revised in 2008. It stores thermophysical properties of not only basic materials such as elements, basic chemicals, and compounds in fluid and solid phases but also materials for variety of application fields such as energy, chemical engineering, metallurgy, electronics, air conditioning, and so on. Although the handbook is published as the form of a printed book at present, JSTP has been digitalizing the thermophysical property data of the handbook and supplying them as content in a database. On this basis, JSTP and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) agreed to develop a network database system for thermophysical property data. It was realized that disadvantages of a computerized database exist against obvious advantages such as quick revising/upgrading, easy interpolation, and converting in graphical expressions. Both the printed media and the networking database system have different functions and advantages. The intention of the present paper is to explore more beneficial means to access reliable thermophysical property data for users, especially in industry.
