Abstract
The density of molten Pb–Bi eutectic is measured by the pycnometer method in a temperature range of 410–726 K. The confidence of error of measurement, made up by the systematic and random components, does not exceed 0.1%. The experimental results are compared with the experimental data on the density of a liquid lead–bismuth alloy of eutectic composition available in the literature.
