The equilibrium pressure for the melting and freezing of mercury was observed for the temperature range −38.834–0.023 °C by latent heat detection. The corresponding pressure range was 0.14–757.32 MPa (MPa=106 N/m2). The least-squares fit was obtained for this range of pressure with a standard deviation of the residuals of 0.055 MPa for pressure expressed as a third-order polynomial in temperature.
