For Thermal Conductivity only:
Curve fit equation of the form:
log10 k = (a + cT 0.5 + eT + gT 1.5 + iT 2)/(1 + bT 0.5 + dT + f T 1.5 + hT 2)

solves as:
k = 10 ( a + cT 0.5 + eT + g T 1.5 + iT 2 ) / ( 1+ bT 0.5 + d T + f T 1.5 + hT 2 )

For properties: specific heat and expansion coefficient curve fit equation of the form:
Curve fit equation of the form:
log10 y = a+b(log10T) + c(log10T) 2 + d(log10T) 3 + e(log10T) 4 + f(log10T) 5 + g(log10T) 6 + h(log10T) 7 + i(log10T) 8


Solves as:
y = 10 a+b(log10T) + c(log10T) 2 + d(log10T) 3 + e(log10T) 4 + f(log10T) 5 + g(log10T) 6 + h(log10T) 7 + i(log10T) 8

Where: Coefficients a - i are summarized in the appropriate table and T is the temperature in K (x-axis), and y is the property to solve for.
