Refrigerant Pressure-Temperature Chart
Look up refrigerant saturation pressure from temperature, or saturation temperature from pressure, with bubble and dew point data for refrigerant blends.
16 refrigerants with source-controlled curves
This first version intentionally supports fewer refrigerants than the other site calculators. P-T data is included only where the source curve can be normalized and checked reliably.
Pressure and temperature in either direction
Select a refrigerant, choose the lookup direction and units, then calculate within the verified embedded range. The tool interpolates only between source points and does not extrapolate beyond them.

Four concepts behind a refrigerant P-T chart
A P-T chart links saturation pressure and saturation temperature. For blends, the liquid and vapor saturation boundaries can differ.
What is a refrigerant P-T chart?
A pressure-temperature chart shows the saturation relationship between refrigerant pressure and temperature. At saturation, liquid and vapor phase conditions are connected by the refrigerant's thermodynamic properties.
Bubble point vs dew point
Bubble point is the saturated-liquid reference. Dew point is the saturated-vapor reference. Zeotropic blends such as R407C, R448A and R449A can have meaningfully different bubble and dew curves.
Gauge vs absolute pressure
Gauge pressure is referenced to local atmospheric pressure; absolute pressure is referenced to vacuum. This tool uses 101.325 kPa as standard atmosphere for conversions.
How should the tool be used?
Choose the exact refrigerant, select a known temperature or pressure, and read the corresponding saturation reference. For blends, keep bubble and dew values distinct.
Refrigerants included in this launch version
P-T curves are included only when an official manufacturer or NIST source can be normalized into a consistent absolute-kPa dataset.
Where the embedded P-T curves come from
Source tables are normalized to absolute kPa before they are embedded. Browser-side interpolation occurs only between those stored points.

What is a refrigerant P-T chart?
A refrigerant P-T chart relates saturation pressure to saturation temperature. It is a thermodynamic reference, not an equipment operating-pressure specification.
How do I find refrigerant pressure from temperature?
Select Temperature → Pressure, choose the refrigerant and enter temperature. The tool interpolates only within the verified embedded curve.
How do I find saturation temperature from pressure?
Select Pressure → Temperature and enter the pressure with the correct gauge or absolute unit. Blends return bubble and dew temperatures separately.
What is the difference between psig and psia?
psig is gauge pressure; psia is absolute pressure. This tool uses 14.6959488 psi as standard atmospheric pressure for conversion.
What is bubble point?
Bubble point is the saturated-liquid reference condition. For zeotropic blends it can differ noticeably from the dew point.
What is dew point?
Dew point is the saturated-vapor reference condition. It should not be silently substituted with bubble point for a meaningful-glide blend.
Why does R407C have bubble and dew values?
R407C is a zeotropic blend with temperature glide. Its saturated-liquid and saturated-vapor boundaries therefore differ at a given pressure.
Does R410A have temperature glide?
R410A is near-azeotropic and has very small glide. The Arkema source used here publishes one R410A saturation-pressure curve, represented as aligned bubble/dew values in this tool.
What pressure is R410A at 25°C?
Approximately 15.57 bar(g) on this embedded Arkema/REFPROP-derived curve, obtained by interpolation between the surrounding source points.
What pressure is R32 at 25°C?
Approximately 15.89 bar(g) on this embedded Arkema/REFPROP-derived curve, obtained by interpolation between the surrounding source points.
Why is R744 not in this first version?
R744 needs careful subcritical and critical-region handling. The site will add it when a suitable verified embedded saturation dataset is prepared rather than generating an unsupported curve.
Can a P-T chart tell me the correct refrigerant charge?
No. A P-T chart is a thermodynamic saturation reference, not a refrigerant charging specification. Use OEM equipment and service documentation for real-system decisions.
