It is used to calculate the phase diagrams for binary fluid mixtures and to classify them according to the van Konynenburg and Scott system.

One modification to it raised the absolute temperature at the critical point to the second power, and introduced a term developed by Pitzer that considered molecular shape and is known as the acentric factor. Superior to one named for van der Waals, it was eventually surpassed in use, especially when dealing with liquid phases, by the Peng-Robinson equation of state, despite its Soave modification. For 10 points, name this doubly-eponymous cubic equation of state.
