October 2019
PDF of document
Description
This formulation is recommended for the calculation of the ionization constant of ordinary water as a function of temperature and density.
The range of validity is from 0 to 800 °C at densities up to 1.25 g m−3.
The development of the formulation and comparisons to
available data are described in detail in a
scientific article.
Online Calculation
The Russian National Committee of IAPWS (through Moscow Power Engineering Institute) has provided an
online calculation page,
which may be useful in program development and verification.
Note that IAPWS is not responsible for the content of these online calculation pages.
Revision History
- This Release was adopted by IAPWS in 2007, replacing an earlier release from 1980.
- In 2019, a minor revision was made to correct some of the explanatory text and to update some references; the formulation itself was not changed.
This Release is the product of the Working Groups "Thermophysical Properties of Water and Steam" (TPWS) and "Physical Chemistry of Aqueous Systems" (PCAS) of the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS).
