PHASE 5.2
Same great data and search functions. Easier to use with new browser-based analysis software, which couples the best of the PED Viewer with a modern, up-to-date graphics engine. Online subscribers of Version 5.2 can use Chromebooks and USB clients will experience the simplified installation process.
Benefits of the ACerS-NIST Phase Products
- Trusted. Fully documented diagrams with explanatory notes critically evaluated by ceramic experts
- Comprehensive. More than 33,000 high-resolution diagrams from 1898 to today with the cumulative index
- Convenient. Easy to search using elements, compounds, and bibliographic and application information and easy to print figures that combine diagrams and commentary for each system in one PDF file
- Unique. Powerful software directly provides composition by mole and mass, and temperature information and allows axis manipulation without compromising the data
- Up-to-date. Version 5.2 adds several hundred new diagrams and new expert commentaries focusing on sustainability and clean energy generation
- Portable. USB format works without internet connections while online subscription works from any computer anywhere
- Cost-effective. The time you save with the PHASE USB or PHASE Online product more than justifies its cost, which is significantly less than other phase diagram products on the market

PHASE Demonstration
The PHASE database and PED viewer software are extremely easy to use. If you want to see how it’s used or take your own test drive, click below to go to our PHASE Demonstration page.
The demonstration download has the fully operational software with the complete index of the figures in Version 5.2. However, the demonstration has only small subset of the figures available to download and analyze.
Background Information
The American Ceramic Society published its first issue of “Phase Diagrams for Ceramists” in the October 1933 issue of the Journal of the American Ceramic Society. It featured 178 diagrams with supporting explanatory material. Ceramic researchers then recognized the diagrams’ great value in saving time and money in research. Fast forward nine decades, and researchers still count on ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria Diagrams to provide the most trusted, comprehensive collection of critically evaluated phase diagrams for ceramic and inorganic systems for understanding temperature-dependent materials interactions.

Phase Equilibria Diagram Expert Information
Reliable Content, Useful Tools
Researchers have created tens of thousands of phase equilibria diagrams since James Thomson (brother of Lord Kelvin) constructed a plaster pressure-volume-temperature 3-d model based on data for carbon dioxide collected by Thomas Andrews. James Maxwell made his better known thermodynamic surface sculpture in 1874, based on the graphical thermodynamics papers of Josiah Gibbs.
With so many diagrams in the scientific record, how can modern ceramic and glass researchers find the appropriate phase equilibria diagrams for their own work?
- Look up all the papers throughout history on the specific ceramic or glass system and read thoroughly. OR
- Consult the ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria Diagram database where each Figure contains commentary on the diagram(s) for a specific material system.
