Thermodynamic temperature differences from the ITS-90 for the correction of thermodynamic property data

This paper purpose is to re-calculate thermodynamic or chemical–physical properties according to thermodynamic temperature T, where measured temperature values were obtained according to the ITS-90, T₉₀ (or the reverse). The main aims of the calculations are: to remove the discontinuity of the first derivative at 273.16 K that is intrinsic in the ITS-90 definition; to use a single cubic spline to model the database of the available experimental data over the whole temperature range (2.37 to 1235) K, while maximising the medium-range smoothness of the correction function; to compute corrections using only local polynomial coefficients.
