The piezothermal method was used to determine the thermal expansivity of benzene up to 4 kbar along 9 isothermal paths, in the range 250–350 K. It is shown that, in the solid phases, the thermal expansion is a function of volume only. This property which appears to be typical of the solid phase stil...
