Abstract: New representative equations based on critically assessed experimental data obtained through the thermal hot wire technique, among others, are put forth for the thermal conductance of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). These correlations are applicable from the triple point to temperatures up to 1000 K, and pressures up to 150 MPa with overall uncertainties less than 4 percent.
