Speeds of sound of the elements (data page)

<< "Chemical elements data references"

Speed of sound, solid phase

Speed of sound, fluid phases

Notes

* Ref. CRC: Values are "at room temperature" unless noted, and "for normal atmospheric pressure" ("at 1 atm" for gases).
* Ref. WEL: Values refer to 293 K "where possible". Mid point values are substituted if ranges were given in their original reference. Not specified further, it is assumed from the values that all (except fluids) are for the speed of sound in a thin rod.
