The vapor pressures and PVT properties of superheated vapor and compressed liquid of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) were measured at wide range of temperature and pressure. The simple correlation for vapor pressures, compressibility factors of superheated vapor and specific volumes of liquid were developed on the basis of the present measurements. The critical pressure was calculated by extrapolating the developed vapor pressure equation to the critical temperature. Isothermal compressibility of liquid was calculated from the developed Tait equation. Specific volume data obtained show the good linearity in the Hudleston plots. Overall uncertainty in the vapor pressure, compressibility factor and specific volume measurements is estimated less than +/-5 kPa, +/-1.2% and +/-0.09%, respectively.
