We study a vectorial asymptotically free gauge theory, with gauge group $G$and $N_f$ massless fermions in a representation $R$ of this group, thatexhibits an infrared (IR) zero in its beta function, $\beta$, at the coupling$\alpha=\alpha_{IR}$ in the non-Abelian Coulomb phase. For general $G$ and $R$,we calculate the scheme-independent series expansions of (i) the anomalousdimension of the fermion bilinear, $\gamma_{\bar\psi\psi,IR}$, to$O(\Delta_f^4)$ and (ii) the derivative $\beta' = d\beta/d\alpha$, to$O(\Delta_f^5)$, both evaluated at $\alpha_{IR}$, where $\Delta_f$ is an$N_f$-dependent expansion variable. These are the highest orders to which theseexpansions have been calculated. We apply these general results to theorieswith $G={\rm SU}(N_c)$ and $R$ equal to the fundamental, adjoint, and symmetricand antisymmetric rank-2 tensor representations. It is shown that for all ofthese representations, $\gamma_{\bar\psi\psi,IR}$, calculated to the order$\Delta_f^p$, with $1 \le p \le 4$, increases monotonically with decreasing$N_f$ and, for fixed $N_f$, is a monotonically increasing function of $p$.Comparisons of our scheme-independent calculations of$\gamma_{\bar\psi\psi,IR}$ and $\beta'_{IR}$ are made with our earlier higher$n$-loop values of these quantities, and with lattice measurements. For $R=F$,we present results for the limit $N_c \to \infty$ and $N_f \to \infty$ with$N_f/N_c$ fixed. We also present expansions for $\alpha_{IR}$ calculated to$O(\Delta_f^4)$.
