Need reference for material properties

AI Thread Summary
For obtaining data on the permittivity, conductivity, density, and acoustic speed of common fluids like seawater, de-ionized water, castor oil, and alcohol, several reliable sources are recommended. The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and the MERCK Index are noted as excellent references. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Knovel are also suggested for those with access. An additional resource mentioned is a website that provides thermodynamic data and properties, which can serve as a starting point for further research. The discussion emphasizes the preference for books as reliable sources for checking these properties. Another useful online resource highlighted is the Kaye & Laby website, which offers comprehensive data on physical properties.

I am an electrical engineer and not familiar with this. I need to look up the permittivity and conductivity, density and acoustic speed of some common fluids: sea water, de-ionized water, castor oil, alchohol, ...

Where would I find some reference containing these numbers? Thank you.

You may want to check the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, or MERCK Index, or NIST, or (if you have access) Knovel.

This website might give you an idea of where to look (might help to branch off from some of its links):

Hope it helps. If someone knows better sources- I would like to know as well : )
 
Thank you for sharing the reference. I particularly like books, just handy to check and reliable. Also came across this
