Abstract

Results, obtained with an extremely simple capillary viscometer, indicate that the changes in flow times due to the slip and kinetic energy corrections may, in certain circumstances, cancel one another. In order to evaluate the slip correction factor, the kinetic energy correction of a viscometer should be as small as possible; this condition can be achieved by simply increasing the capillary length. If one is not interested in the slip and kinetic energy corrections, all capillary viscometers may easily be calibrated with the extremely accurate data of Kestin and co-workers. The calibrations are valid for pure gases and their mixtures.
