Table B.1: Physical Properties of Water at Standard Sea-Level Pressure
The properties given in Table B.1 are for pure water. Pure water seldom exists in nature, where the density of water can be influenced significantly by salinity, temperature, and other properties through an equation of state. The general dependence of water density on temperature has been found to be approximately parabolic, with a maximum at 4°C. However, the temperature corresponding to the maximum density of water changes with increasing salinity, decreasing to about 0°C for highly saline systems. To a first-order approximation, ...
