✦ Synopsis

The shear viscosity coefficients of saturated and compressed fluid chlorotrifluoromethane (R13) have been measured with a torsional crystal viscometer at temperatures between 100 and 320 K, at pressures up to 35 MPa and at densities between 1.5 and 17.7 mol dm -3. The dependence of the fluidity (viscosity -t ) on molar volume and temperature has been examined. At molar volumes between 0.06 and 0.12 dm 3 mo1-1, the dependence on molar volume is linear and there is no significant temperature dependence at fixed volume. The data in this volume range have been correlated with a fluidity-volume equation. Most of the differences between the present data and the equation are smaller than 3%.
