SUMMARY
The density of water (H2O) at 150°C and 600 psi is a complex topic due to the two-phase system of water and steam. Standard water tables indicate a density of approximately 916.69 kg/m³ at atmospheric conditions, but this value changes under pressure. For accurate data, one must consult steam tables specifically designed for high-pressure scenarios, as water is generally considered incompressible unless precise measurements are required. Resources like Wolfram Alpha can provide additional calculations for specific conditions.
