Data for the viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients of dense gaseous and liquid methane have been evaluated. Selected data were fitted to a function derived in our previous work and tables of values were generated for temperatures from 95 to 500 K and for pressures up to 50 MPa (∠500 atm). The uncertainties of the tabular values are estimated to be approximately 3% and 5% for the viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients, respectively. The contribution for the thermal conductivity enhancement in the critical region is included in the tables. Care has been taken to ensure that the calculated values are consistent with reliable equation‐of‐state data and also with dilute gas transport coefficients determined previously.
