An equation of state (EOS) of metals in the region of warm dense matter (WDM) is discussed. Data for EOS developing includes results of static and dynamic experiments as well as theoretical calculations. The information, obtained in shock compression, isentropic expansion, isobaric expansion and “exploding foils” experiments is analyzed and discussed with the use of the multi-phase EOS for selected metals.
