Abstract An improved parametric equation for the thermodynamic properties of fluids is presented that incorporates the crossover from singular thermodynamic behavior in the immediate vicinity of the critical point to regular thermodynamic behavior far away from the critical point. Based on a comparison with experimental data for ethane and methane, it is demonstrated that the crossover model is capable of representing the thermodynamic properties of fluids in a large range of temperatures and densities around the critical point.
