IPA POLYNOMIAL EDITION

Rigorous % v/v dilution for ethanol and isopropanol. Ethanol uses the OIML R22 Wagenbreth-Blanke polynomial (−20 °C to +40 °C). Isopropanol uses a 45-term bivariate polynomial ρ(p, t) fitted by least squares to Perry's 6th Ed. tables, valid 15–40 °C. Volume contraction is implicitly handled via mixture densities throughout.

IPA polynomial range: 15–40 °C only. This calculator replaces the Perry table lookup for isopropanol with an 8th-degree/4th-degree bivariate polynomial (R² = 0.9999946, max residual 0.58 kg/m³). The polynomial is fitted to the same Perry source data as the original calculator. It is not an independent data source. Reference and ambient temperatures for IPA are restricted to 15–40 °C. Use the original calculator for IPA at 0 °C.
