High-Pressure Measurements of the Viscosity and Density of Two Polyethers and Two Dialkyl Carbonates

The viscosity and density of four pure liquid compounds (dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether) were measured at several temperatures between 283.15 and 353.15 K. The density measurements were performed up to 60 MPa with an uncertainty of 1_10&4 g } cm&3. The viscosity at atmospheric pressure was measured with an Ubbelohde-type glass capillary tube viscometer with an uncertainty of \10. At pressures up to 100 MPa the viscosity was determined with a falling ball viscometer with an uncertainty of \20. The density (410 experimental values) and viscosity data (184 experimental values) were fitted to several correlation equations.
