After this thread came to an end, I took your questions to heart and
rather than relying on the critical point and temperature data,
which were very easy to find, I started looking for temperature and
pressure data and graphs for cryogenic gas storage .

I did find the data after contacting some liquid gas companies.

If you're interested, I've placed the data in the Excel spreadsheet
I've uploaded to the files section.
