Density of water: roles of the CIPM and IAPWS standards

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: This contribution discusses the relative roles of the standard formulation for the density of liquid water recommended for metrology by the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) in 2001 and the thermodynamic property formulation adopted by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) in 1995. The two formulations give consistent results for densities in the region of validity of the CIPM standard. Guidelines are presented for the appropriate use of the two formulations.
