The solubility of titanite (CaTiSiO₅) in Si-rich melts was measured experimentally through growth experiments at 800–1000 °C, 0.5–1.0 GPa, log fO₂ ~ CCO–0.8, t = 72–168 h, and H₂O = 0 to 4 wt.%, and in dissolution experiments at 925–1300 °C, 0.8 GPa, t = 18–118 h, and H₂O = 1–10 wt.% in a piston-cylinder apparatus. Run product glasses in growth experiments were homogeneous, and iron loss suppressed ilmenite crystallization. Saturation concentrations in dissolution experiments were estimated by fitting measured diffusion profiles. Titanite solubility increases with increasing temperature and melt composition parameter $M = {\text{ molar }}\left( {{\text{Na }} + {\text{ K }} + {\text{ 2Ca}}} \right)/\left( {{\text{Al }} \times {\text{ Si}}} \right)$. Multiple linear regression of glass composition data from growth and dissolution experiments (n = 29) plus 39 experiments from the LEPR database (Hirschmann et al. 2008) yielded the titanite solubility equation (adj. r² = 0.95): $\left( {TiO_{2} } \right)^{melt} \left( {wt.\% } \right) = 0.978 \times M + 0.0048 \times T\left( K \right){-}5.90$. This model correctly predicted undersaturation in 95% of 2344 experiments from the LEPR database that did not have titanite or rutile. Application to natural rocks yields saturation temperatures that are similar to independent temperature estimates. Finally, this equation should be useful for constraining the temperatures of titanite-saturated melts, for determining whether titanite saturation in magmatic source regions is likely, and for determining when titanite can crystallize and begin to exert an influence on melt geochemistry.
