Reference Data for the Density and Viscosity of Liquid Copper and Liquid Tin

Abstract

The available experimental data for the density and viscosity of liquid copper and tin have been critically examined with the intention of establishing a density and a viscosity standard. All experimental data have been categorized into primary and secondary data according to the quality of measurement specified by a series of criteria. The proposed standard reference correlations for the density of copper and tin are characterized by standard deviations of 1.3% and 1.0% at the 95% confidence level, respectively. The standard reference correlations for the viscosity of copper and tin are characterized by standard deviations of 6.3% and 20% at the 95% confidence level, respectively.
