Comprehensive and accurate measurements of the saturated-liquid and saturated-vapour densities together with the vapour pressure of pure nitrogen were carried out from the temperature T = 64 K (triple-point temperature T-t = 63.151 K) to 0.022 K below the critical temperature. The typical values of the total uncertainties of the measurements are : <2.10(-4).p(sigma) for the vapour pressures, <1.2.10(-4).rho’ for the saturated-liquid densities, and <[3.10(-4).rho " for the saturated-vapour densities. The critical constants (T-c = 126.192 K, rho(c) = 313.3 kg.m(-3), p(c) = 3.3958 MPa) and the isothermal compressibilities in the critical region close to the phase boundary have also been determined from these measurements. Comparisons with experimental results of previous workers are presented. Based on the new Values of this work, new correlation equations for the vapour pressure, the saturated-liquid density, and the saturated-vapour density have been established.
