Special Properties of Water

Water Density vs. Temperature

Water Density vs. Temperature

The density of water as a function of temperature. Note that the thermal expansion is actually very small. The maximum density at +4ºC is only 0.0075% greater than the density at 2ºC, and 0.012% greater than that at 0ºC.
