AbstractPreviously published experimental viscosity data at low density, originally obtained using all-quartz oscillating-disk viscometers for R134a and six vapors of aromatic hydrocarbons in the temperature range between 297 K and 631 K at most, were re-evaluated after an improved re-calibration. The relative combined expanded ($$k=2$$ k = 2 ) uncertainty of the re-evaluated data are 0.2 % near room temperature and increases to 0.3 % at higher temperatures. The re-evaluated data for R134a as well as for the vapors of mesitylene, durene, diphenyl, fluorobenzene, chlorobenzene, and p-dichlorobenzene were arranged in approximately isothermal groups and converted into quasi-isothermal viscosity data using a first-order Taylor series in temperature. Then, the data for R134a were evaluated by means of a series expansion truncated at first order to obtain the zero density and initial density viscosity coefficients, $$\eta ^{(0)}$$ η ( 0 ) and $$\eta ^{(1)}$$ η ( 1 ) . For the six aromatic vapors, the Rainwater–Friend theory for the initial density dependence of the viscosity was used to derive $$\eta ^{(0)}$$ η ( 0 ) values. Finally, reliable $$\eta ^{(0)}$$ η ( 0 ) and also $$\eta ^{(1)}$$ η ( 1 ) values for R134a were selected as reference values in the measured temperature range to be applied when generating a new viscosity formulation.
