A corresponding states correlation is developed for the p ‐ v ‐ T properties of saturated liquids. It is similar in form to a previous correlation; however it is more accurate in the low pressure, low Pitzer factor range, owing to the incorporation of new information about low Pitzer factor behavior. The problem of creating corresponding states correlations of the spinodal lines and the metastable states is also discussed in the light of new equation of state information. A partial preliminary correlation works particularly well for non‐polar molecules in the range of fairly small positive Pitzer factors.
