Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Results are close to the viscosity of water (about 1 mPa.s at 20°C).
Executive summary:

Mullin and Sipek determined experimentally the viscosity of saturated solutions of ammonium alum (hydrate) by capillary (Ostwald) method. The results were respectively 1.3686, 1.2030 and 1.0954 mPa.s at 20, 30 and 40°C. Validity could not be assigned due to lack of experimental details.
