  • The critical point for water is 705.40oF and 3206.2 psia (374oC - 218 atm)- For pressure beyond this point the fluid is supercritical1).
  • Blue - viscosity of water

1) Supercritical fluids are phases of substances at high pressures above their critical temperatures. Supercritical water is superheated steam under high pressure of more than 3206.2 psia (200 atm). Under these conditions supercritical water decomposes to many substances.
