IAPWS-95
Range
The IAPWS-95 formation covers a validityrange for temperatures from the melting line (lowest temperature 251.2 K at209.9 MPa) to 1273 K and pressures up to 1000 MPa. In this entire rangeof validity, it represents even the most accurate data to within theirexperimental uncertainty.
In the stable fluid region, the IAPWS-95formulation can be extrapolated beyond the limits of validity listed above. The model behaves reasonably well when extrapolated to pressures up to2000 MPa and temperatures up to 3000 K as long as the conditions are in thefluid region (less than melting pressure at specified temperature, and greaterthan melting temperature at specified pressure).
