Abstract
IT may be of some interest to note that Cailletet and Mathias' “Law of Diameters,” in combination with any equation of state, such as Van der Waals', which applies to the region of coexistence of liquid and vapour, supplies an (empirical) expression for the maximum pressure of a vapour at any temperature T in the form of an explicit function of this temperature and known constants.
