Experimental Thermodynamics prepared by the Commission in 1970 has been an archival book for nearly 30 years on Thermodynamic Measurement Techniques. It is now out of date; many new techniques have been developed. At the same time many industrial organisations have reduced their expertise in the field. Industrialists and Academic Research Workers have argued that the volume needs to be updated to provide a reference for the world expertise before it is lost and has to be reinvented. It is proposed to update the volume by including only what is new and relevant. It will comprise two volumes on single and multiple phase separately.

This project was presented at a poster session at the IUPAC Congress/GA July 2001

• - Volume VI. Measurement of the Thermodynamic Properties of Single Phases
  Editors: A.R.H. Goodwin, K.N. Marsh and W.A. Wakeham
• published - Elsevier, 2003 [ISBN 0-444-50931-3]
• - Volume VII. Measurement of the Thermodynamic Properties of Multiple Phases
  Editors: Th. de Loos and R.D. Weir
  The 16 chapters that make up the edition are in the hands of the production department of Elsevier Publishers. Some 24 authors from nine different countries contributed material. This book contains descriptions of recent developments in the techniques for measurement of thermodynamic quantities for multiple phases of pure fluids as well mixtures over a wide range of conditions. The precision and accuracy of results obtained from each method was regarded as an essential element in each description. Throughout the text, the quantities, units and symbols are those defined by IUPAC for use in the international community.
