R410A pressure temperature chart (PT)
An R410A pressure temperature chart (PT chart) is a saturation lookup: it relates temperature and saturation pressure for R410A in the two-phase region. Because R410A is a refrigerant blend, “saturation” can involve bubble and dew endpoints. For R410A the difference is typically small (near-azeotropic), but the concept still matters when comparing tools, charts, or procedures.
Bubble vs dew (why blends can have two PT curves)
For many blends, the phase change happens over a temperature range (temperature glide). A common convention is:
- Bubble point: where the first vapor bubble appears during boiling (often mapped with Q=0).
- Dew point: where the first liquid droplet appears during condensation (often mapped with Q=1).
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 blends, we provide both endpoints: bubble (Q=0) and dew (Q=1).

How to verify in FluidTool
- Open FluidTool with R410A selected: /?fluid=R410A
- 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.
If you’re using pressures and line temperatures from a running system, combine saturation with superheat/subcooling concepts. This page is educational and does not provide diagnostic target pressures.
