IAPWSStandards
IAPWS, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam, is an international organization devoted to developing and maintaining standardized formulations for the thermophysical properties of water and steam. Its standards aim to provide accurate, consistent data for engineering calculations, scientific research, and educational purposes.
The core outputs are formal formulations and recommended practices that cover the properties of pure water
Applications of IAPWS standards span thermal power plants, chemical processing, HVAC systems, and academic research. Software
Governance and development occur through IAPWS technical committees that draft releases, which undergo review before publication.
