A new correlation for the viscosity of para-xylene (p-xylene) is presented. The correlation
is based upon a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for internal
consistency and for agreement with theory. It is applicable in the temperature range from
the triple point to 673 K at pressures up to 110 MPa. The overall uncertainty of the proposed
correlation, estimated as the combined expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor of 2,
varies from 0.5% for the viscosity of the dilute gas to 5% for the highest temperatures
and pressures of interest. Tables of the viscosity generated by the relevant equations, at
selected temperatures and pressures and along the saturation line, are provided.
