DIPPR Membership

DIPPR has a broad range of participants worldwide including companies in the chemical, petroleum, biochemical, pharmaceutical, and allied industries; environmental companies; engineering contractors, consultants, and specialty firms; government agencies; academic institutions; and consortia. DIPPR maintains liaisons with entities respected world-wide for their experimental excellence in thermo-physical property evaluation.

Many companies need validated data for thermodynamic and physical properties as well as data on environmental impact. Unfortunately, the costs involved in producing such data using a company's internal resources may be prohibitive. Joint industry consortia such as DIPPR provide a very cost-effective solution to an industry dilemma.
