VISCOSITY OF DIFLUOROMETHANE AND PENTAFLUOROETHANE ALONG THE SATURATION LINE

The paper reports new measurements of the viscosity of liquid difluoro methane (HFC-32) over the temperature range 233.15 K to 333.15 K and t he viscosity of pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) over the temperature range 233.15 K to 328.15 K along the saturation line. The viscosities were measured in a calibrated capillary viscometer. A new method was develo ped to operate the viscometer and to analyze the measured data. The un certainty of the results is estimated to be no more than 3%. The resul ts were correlated as a function of temperature.
