Don't get me wrong. I don't think 500 bar is relevant. It's more the
fact hat I worry that with our tables going up only to 275 bar (for
the non-air gases), any pressure above that is kind of questionable.

polynomials looked fine to 300 bar. They didn't look *horrible* up to
400 bar either. The Oxygen one was the worst by far past 400 bar, the
others didn't look too nasty.
