The viscosities of sulphur dioxide, ethyl chloride, methyl chloride, cis-dichlorethylene, trans-dichlorethylene, trichlorethylene and dichlor-difluormethane have been measured at temperatures between -15° and +30°C. The method used is that of timing the rate of fall of a closely fitting plug in a vertical tube filled with the liquid. In order to avoid evaporation, with the resultant formation of bubbles, an auxiliary reservoir of the fluid was connected with the experimental tube; the refrigerant in the reservoir was maintained at a temperature slightly above that of the tube, so that the pressure in the apparatus was above the vapour pressure of the liquid in which the plug moved. In all cases the viscosity η was found to follow a law η = Aea/T where T is the absolute temperature and A and a are constants.
