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
