The density of vapor and liquid perfluorobenzene along the liquid–vapor coexistence curve has been studied by a gamma-ray attenuation technique over the temperature range from 299 to 517 K. According to measurements, the coordinates of the critical point are TC = 516.66 ± 0.05 K and ρ C = 550.5 ± 2 kg · m−3. The critical exponent β of the coexistence curve equals 0.343 ± 0.005, which agrees closely with the non-classical value. The results of our measurements were compared with data available in the literature. The height dependence of the density of a two-phase sample was investigated in relation to the temperature and time. These experiments made it possible to determine the isothermal compressibility of liquid and vapor phases near the critical point.
