Values come from a CoolProp 7.2.1dev tabulation of R-502 (70 pressures, each with states across its liquid, two-phase and vapour spans), interpolated between the points of that grid, and must be verified by a qualified professional before they're relied on.

Enthalpy and entropy are on the IIR datum: h = 200 kJ/kg and s = 1 kJ/(kg·K) for saturated liquid at 0 °C, the bubble-point liquid for a blend.

CoolProp has no pressure–enthalpy solution for a blend it models as a mixture, so each state here is its pressure–temperature or pressure–quality solution at the enthalpy the grid needed. It gives no critical point for this blend either, so the diagram stops at 3,166 kPa, the dew-point pressure at the top of the table above.

CoolProp didn't solve the saturation lines between 2,954 and 3,166 kPa, so the diagram shades that band and draws nothing across it.

Gauge pressure is absolute pressure less a standard atmosphere, 101.325 kPa; below it, gauge pressure is negative. Bubble: saturated liquid. Dew: saturated vapour.

CoolProp could not solve the bubble line at 74–80 °C, or the dew line at 72 °C. Those rows are left out, not interpolated.

0.334The mass-weighted sum of its components' figures in the Montreal Protocol's annexes: 48.8 % × 0.055 (R-22) + 51.2 % × 0.6 (R-115).

Two GWPs, both for a 100-year horizon. AR4 is the assessment that Australia's Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989 and the Montreal Protocol count HFCs in, so it is the figure behind Australia's HFC import phase-down (DCCEEW). The Montreal Protocol's Annexes A, C and F list the same AR4 figures for the CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs they control. AR6 is the IPCC's most recent assessment. The GHG Protocol's table of IPCC GWPs (version 2.0, August 2024) recommends using these latest values.

The property figures are computed with CoolProp from published equations of state. The GWP, ODP and safety class are the named sources’ figures, a blend’s GWP and ODP summed from its composition. They must be verified by a qualified professional before they’re relied on.
