highlights
Literature values for hydrogen are used for the graphical examination of the supercritical phases on phase diagrams.
Liquid-vapor, superheated steam, overcritical fluid and supercritical fluid regions were determined on the phase diagram.
Supercritical region observed starting at approximately 8 bar pressure between 34-36 K isotherms.
Critical pressure of ionization or decomposition for H2 molecules was found as 1800 bar.
Supercritical fluid formation explained thermodynamically and a novel p-T phase diagram for hydrogen provided.
