Abstract
Squalane is being recommended as a secondary reference material for viscometry at moderate to high pressure and at moderate viscosity. As part of this work, a correlation has been developed for atmospheric pressure (Comuñas et al., 2013) [12]. Here we report new experimental high pressure viscosities for squalane (176 data points obtained for temperatures (293.15 to 363.15)K, at pressures up to 350MPa with a maximum viscosity of 745mPa·s). These have been determined with four different falling-body viscometers as well as a quartz crystal resonator viscometer. A preliminary high pressure viscosity correlation for squalane is proposed, based on our new data. At pressures up to 350MPa, this correlation provides an absolute average deviation of 1.5% with a maximum absolute deviation of 8.9%. Comparison is made between the different instruments. In addition, we have also considered the validity of a thermodynamic scaling model.
