We have reanalyzed the thermodynamic behavior of H₂O in the vicinity of the critical point to suggest updated values for the amplitudes of the asymptotic critical power laws. A revised parametric scaled equation of state, that also includes non-asymptotic and liquid-gas asymmetry corrections, has been used to fit the experimental data on PVT and the speed of sound. As D₂O and H₂O are quite similar in terms of critical effects, their asymptotic amplitudes are shown to be very close.
