Static relative permittivities (εr) of water + ethane-1,2-diol and water + propane-1,2,3-triol mixtures were measured
at the mole fraction of organic component (x
2) from 0 to 0.8 at 0.2 intervals under pressures up to 300 MPa at
the temperature 298.15 K. The relative permittivities at 0.1 MPa (εr(P
0)) against x
2 for both aqueous mixtures in
this work were correlated with a polynomial equation of x
2 and were compared with the literature values. The
relative permittivities at pressure P (εr(P
0)) were also correlated with the polarization (p) for both aqueous mixtures,
and reasonable correlations were obtained by use of only one adjustable parameter (k
12). The experimental εr
results as a function of P for each mixture were fitted to a Tait-type equation, and the Tait-type parameters, A and
B, were determined. A comparison between composition dependence of (∂ ln εr/∂P)

(∂ ln εr/∂P)

, calculated from values of εr(P

, evaluated from εr(P
0), A, and B values were
correlated with a quadratic equation of x
2. An empirical equation by Marcus for estimating (∂ ln εr/∂P)

was used, and the estimated results were compared with the experimental ones. Furthermore, a combination equation
of the correlation equations for εr(P
0) and εr(P

with x

and then it was found that the calculated values reproduce the composition dependence of (∂ ln εr/∂P)

well.
