An analytical equation of state (EoS) is developed for some saturated molten metals. The equation is that of Ihm, Song and Mason in which the three temperature–dependent parameters, second virial coefficient, van der Waals co–volume, and a scaling parameter, are calculated by means of corresponding states correlations. The required characteristic constants are the heat of vaporization and the density at the melting point, Δ H vap and ρm, respectively. The EoS is applied to these liquid metals to calculate the density at temperatures higher than their melting points. The results are fairly consistent with experiment, maximum difference less than ±4%.
