steam

steam, a Fortran90 code which computes various physical properties of water, related to temperature, pressure and density.

Most of these routines use a standard set of SI units. The original routines were written in Fortran77. This Fortran90 version has been extensively rewritten, with some additional routines for computing quantities such as the viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the Prandtl number.
