Wrappers of NIST REFPROP

Why do we need wrappers?

  • NIST REFPROP is FORTRAN code compiled into a DLL (dynamically linked library).
    • Precompiled DLL (dynamically linked library) are available on windows (REFPROP.DLL for 32-bit applications, and REFPRP64.DLL for 64-bit applications).
    • For linux, Mac OSX, and other platforms, the user is invited to compile their own shared library from source using the CMake-based build system at https://github.com/usnistgov/REFPROP-cmake
  • No universal simple way to call a dynamic library in other environments like Excel, MATLAB, LabView, python, etc.
