Abstract
The applicability of several well-known equations describing the dependences of the relative permittivities of liquid water and water vapor on their densities and temperature is analyzed. An original semiempirical equation was suggested to relate the permittivity of equilibrium vapor to that of the liquid phase. The temperature intervals within which the equations under consideration described experimental data most accurately were established. The results were used to tabulate the calculated permittivities of water and water vapor in saturation states.
