Searching for Steam Tables: What Programs are Worth Getting?

In summary, Quark found a website that has old fashioned steam tables, and he recommends the software "Steam Table Trial Version" from Chemicalogic. He also recommends "Perrys Handbook for Chemical Engineers" which is an online edition.

I've been looking for steam tables on the internet, but all that I can find are those steam table computer programs.

So... Does anyone know a site which has the old fashioned steam tables?

And which of those steam table computer programs would be worth getting?

It's times like this I never quite know whether you're being serious or not! :smile:


Mine were (ahem) originally from Waterstones too. Well, the (cough) original copy from which mine were (ahem) obtained was. Obviously it'd be wrong to suggest you illegally photocopy a set, we're dead against copyright infringement here at PF.

Actually, I was. I worked in a bar/restaurant for over 20 years, so the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the title of the thread was the steam table setup that we used to keep the buffet dishes hot. I realized my error as soon as the subject of software popped up. :redface:
