Physical properties of fatty acid methyl esters. VI. Viscosity

Abstract

Abstract Kinematic viscosities at 20C, 40C and at 70C have been measured for methyl oleate, linoleate, linolenate, erucate, and for the saturated fatty acid methyl esters acetate through nonadecanoate. Using a recently developed dynamic viscosity‐temperature criterion, log (1.200+log ॑)=A蜢S log (1+t/135), the viscosity‐temperature behavior of the saturated compounds could be characterized by one single parameter.
