20 °C

Additional information

The kinematic viscosity of 12.97 mm2/s was determined for nonan-1 -ol with the use of a capillary method in accordance with ASTM D446/07. The result is considered to be reliable. A value of 9.23 mm2/s at 40°C was determined in the same test.

Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:

As chain length increases, kinematic viscosity increases. This is because molecular weight is higher and intermolecular forces in the substance are all higher.
