Dynamic high pressure equation-of-state data are reported for liquid hydrogen and deuterium. Standard high explosive techniques were used to obtain the data from single and double shock compression. The shock velocity--particle velocity data on the principal Hugoniot curves are best fit by a quadratic expression in particle velocity. Intercepts of these expressions with the shock velocity axes agree very well with the measured sound speed. Over the pressure range studied, neither liquid exhibited a transition for the principal Hugoniot curves and no abnormal behavior was observed from the double-shock data. Theoretical Hugoniot curves for these liquids were computed using an equation of state from the Sesame library. The calculations agree with the measurements to within experimental error.
