An equation of state which describes vapor and liquid states of nitrogen in the temperature and density range to three times the critical and the two‐phase boundary is presented. The root mean square error is less than 0.7% in describing the available data for nitrogen. The equation contains thirteen coefficients, only three or four of which are independent, and can be written in virial form.
