The pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) behavior of difluoromethane (R32) has been measured using a vibrating tube densimeter apparatus and a Burnett/isochoric apparatus. Liquid PVT data from the vibrating tube densimeter ranged in temperature from 242 to 348 K with a pressure range of 2,000--6,500 kPa. Data from the Burnett apparatus consisted of 11 isochores for the gas and supercritical fluid, along with vapor pressure measurements. The temperature ranged from 268 to 373 K. The gas-phase data are correlated with a virial equation of state. The compressed liquid data are fit with an abbreviated form of the modified Benedict-Webb-Rubin (mBWR) equation. A table of thermodynamic properties is presented for the saturated liquid and vapor states.
