R407C pressure temperature chart (PT)
An R407C pressure temperature chart (PT chart) is a saturation lookup for R407C in the two-phase region. R407C is a zeotropic blend, which means it typically has noticeable temperature glide. As a result, saturation can be represented by two endpoints: bubble and dew.
Bubble vs dew (important for R407C)
For blends with glide, there isn’t a single “Tsat at a pressure” or “Psat at a temperature”. Instead:
- Bubble point is the liquid-side saturation endpoint (often mapped with Q=0).
- Dew point is the vapor-side saturation endpoint (often mapped with Q=1).
Different charts and apps may choose different conventions. If you’re comparing values across sources, always confirm whether they’re using bubble or dew.
Pressure basis: absolute vs gauge
The tables below use absolute pressure (kPa(a), bar(a), psi(a)). Many field gauges display gauge pressure (relative to ambient). Converting requires local atmospheric pressure:

Generated using CoolProp (the same property engine used by FluidTool). For R407C we include both endpoints: bubble (Q=0) and dew (Q=1).

How to verify in FluidTool
- Open FluidTool with R407C selected: /?fluid=R407C
- Choose a Two-phase input pair (Temperature & Quality / T + Q).
- Set Q=0 to reproduce the bubble column, or Q=1 to reproduce the dew column.
For interpretation with real line measurements, combine saturation with superheat/subcooling concepts. This page is educational and does not provide diagnostic target pressures.
