This document, ITTC Procedure 7.5-02-01-03, establishes recommended procedures for the accurate determination of fresh water and seawater properties. It serves as a technical guide for engineers and researchers, providing essential data and methodologies for key physical characteristics.
The procedure details properties including density, absolute viscosity, kinematic viscosity, and vapor pressure. It references international standards and data from authoritative bodies such as the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The document includes comprehensive tables and figures illustrating these properties across various temperature and salinity conditions.
Developed by the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC), this procedure is vital for applications requiring precise fluid property data, particularly within the maritime and hydrodynamic research sectors.
