Abstract: This paper studies the development of approaches to expand the method for calculating the properties of liquid sodium in the region of overheating and at high temperatures. The expansion is carried out using the hypothesis of the linearity of isochores and interpolation of the properties of sodium on the saturation line using the theory of critical exponents. Using modified techniques, the position of the spinodal is calculated and an expression is given to estimate its position. A comparison is made with the available published data. Satisfactory agreement is obtained.
