AIST>RIO-DB>Network Database System for Thermophysical Property Data

Network Database System for Thermophysical Property Data is developed and run by AIST, and is available for free. Thermophysical properties data (ex. Thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, heat capacity, density, surface tension and vapor pressure) for liquid, solid and melts are stored in this database.

Release date:2011/5/12

Additional function in new version (Introduction Page)

1. Strengthening of the graph overwriting function

Previously you could put multiple data sets on the same graph if those property data are located in the same material folder. With the new version it is now possible if those property data are located in different material foler (like Copper and Aluminum).

-Thermophysical property data (density, surface tension, viscosity) of high temperature melts have released-

Release date: 2010/04/13

Summary of recorded data

Thermophysical property data of high temperature melts of pure metals have been recorded and released in cooperation with Takehiko Ishikawa, an associate professor at Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Density, surface tension and viscosity of 22 materials listed below were recorded. These properties have been measured by the electrostatic levitation method. And valuable data of melts such as tungsten has a high melting point exceeding 3,000 degrees celsius have also been recorded.

List of recorded materials

Tungsten, Titanium, Zirconium, Niobium, Vanadium, Cobalt, Nickel, Yttrium, Molybdenum, Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Hafnium, Tantalum, Rhenium, Osmium, Iridium, Platinum, Lanthanum, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Cerium

Measurement method

Electrostatic levitation (ESL) is the method can measure various properties of molten metal without touching. Containerless float methods, including ESL, can avoid sample contamination because it has no reaction between container and sample. It can also produce supercooled state for solidifying for long periods of time. Therefore it is probably suitable for study on supercooled liquid. To measure density by ESL, calculate volume from camera image and mass divided by volume because its sample shape in suspension is nearly a sphere. Surface tension and viscosity are obtained from attenuance of frequency or vibration from vibrating a few drops of high temperature melt. (See reference 1 for details.)

-InetDBGV ver3.0.6 release-

Release date:2008/09/26

New function of ver3.0.6

1.Reference search function

It is bossible to search property data by paper title, journal title, issue / year / page and author.

2. Multiple Concurrent Connection & Cross Search Function

It became possible to connect to multiple network thermophysical property database concurrently, for example, JSTP sever and AIST server. Therefore, the function that it is possible to search across multiple database was added.

3. Record of image data

It became possible to record and release the data that is difficult to express in numeric data such as SEM/TEM image or spectral image.

Browsing system by web browser

-TPDS-web/full

It is possible to use simple search or data comparison of the browse system without depending on a certain OS or browser.

-TPDS-web/light

TPDS-web lightweight version can be used via IE, GC, and have a light load.AJAX/light

Exclusive soft for browsing DB

-InetDBGV

InetDBGV is the database browsing software can be used by installing onto your Windows OS. Compared to the web browser version, it has several functions corresponding to higher and technical needs like property search or 3D graph plot using a large quantity of data.
