Pressure - Temperature (P-T, aka Phase State) Diagram |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
A common graphic used to illustrate the relationship of substances in their phase states as a function of pressure and temperature is the P-T diagram. It is also referred to as a phase state diagram or a phase change diagram. The asterisk in the P-T diagram below identifies a pressure-temperature combination that is known as the triple point, which is where the substance can simultaneously exist as a solid, a liquid, or a vapor.
