Design Institute for Physical Properties (DIPPR®)

The Design Institute for Physical Properties (DIPPR®) is the world's best source of critically evaluated thermophysical and environmental property data. Data and estimation methods developed in DIPPR projects are used by leading chemical, petroleum, and pharmaceutical companies throughout the world.

DIPPR® Compiles - DIPPR collects data from a wide range or sources; evaluates them critically; compares them with other values; and stores them in an easily accessible form.

DIPPR® Correlates - DIPPR correlates the evaluated data emphasizing thermodynamic consistency, accurate reproduction of the values, and reasonable extrapolation.

DIPPR® Measures - when property values needed by DIPPR members are not found in the literature, they can be measured in DIPPR projects. After two or three years these data can be added to the DIPPR databases to replace, improve, and extend existing estimations.

DIPPR® disseminates project results in many forms, including hard copy publications, computer programs and databases on diskettes and on-line, and multimedia containing all DIPPR results through many distributors. Revenues from distribution of results provide a substantial part of the total DIPPR budget.
