Abstract
Tables are provided for the density, enthalpy, entropy, and volume of water and steam calculated from the IAPWS Formulation 1 995 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Ordinary Water Substance for General and Scientific Use. This formulation is the current international standard for water's thermodynamic properties, and is implemented in NIST Standard Reference Database 10. The properties are tabulated along the vapor-liquid saturation curve as a function of both temperature and pressure. They are also tabulated for single-phase states on a grid of temperatures and pressure extending to 2000 C and 1 000 MPa.
