Abstract
New dilatometric measurements allow the evaluated thermal expansion of osmium to be increased from the previous limit of 1300 K to the melting point at 3400 K. The new data is reported in the form of Equations and Tables. The revision confirms that osmium is the densest solid at all
temperatures above room temperature. A new equation is given for the density of liquid osmium.
