THE LIQUID DENSITIES OF PROPYLENE AND METHYL ETHER AS DETERMINED BY A MODIFIED DILATOMETER METHOD
Keyword(s):
A modification of the dilatometer method for measuring the density of liquids which can be applied over a large temperature range and up to the region of the critical temperature is described. The densities of methyl ether and propylene have been measured over the temperature range 7°–120 °C. and 20°–88 °C. respectively, with an accuracy of 1 part in 2000. A comparison is made with the data of other investigators. Application of the data to the law of corresponding states shows that the law holds to within the accuracy attained up to temperatures at least 0.96 of the critical.
