(1) \rho_w(T, p) = \rho_w^*(T, p) / B_w(T, p)
(2) \rho_w^*}(T, p) = 62.368 + 0.438603 \cdot S + 0.00160074 \cdot S^2

where

\rho_w(T, p) 

Water density with salinity S at temperature T and pressure p

\rho_w^*(T, p)

Pure water density (with zero salinity S = 0) at temperature T and pressure p

T 

Temperature, °F 

p 

Pressure, psi 

S
