Abstract
A closed virial equation-of-state for the low density fluid phase of hard disks is obtained from the known virial coefficients. The equation exhibits 6-figure accuracy for the thermodynamic (MD) pressure up to the reduced number density ~ 0.4 Interpolation of the discrepancy at higher densities indicates a higher-order thermodynamic phase transition at the extensive-intensive free-volume percolation transition previously located by Hoover et al. (JCP 70 1837 1979)
