Abstract
New absolute measurements of the viscosity of benzene, toluene, and m-xylene are presented. The measurements were performed in a recently developed vibrating-wire instrument, at temperatures of 303.15 and 323.15 K and pressures up to 80 MPa. The overall uncertainty in the reported viscosity data is estimated to be ±0.5%.
