“Meas.” is measured value. The average pressure for these measurements was 0.102 MPa. Standard uncertainties are u(T) = 0.01 K, and u(p) = 1 kPa, and relative standard uncertainties are ur(c) = 0.0007, except for n-octylbenzene mixtures where the relative standard uncertainties ur(c) = 0.0018.

Table 8: The units in the header were incorrect. They should be m·s–1.

x1 is the mole fraction of an n-alkylbenzene (1) in pentadecane (2). The average pressure for these measurements was 0.102 MPa. Standard uncertainties are u(T) = 0.01 K and u(p) = 1 kPa, relative standard uncertainties are ur(c) = 0.0018 for n-octylbenzene and ur(c) = 0.0007 for all other mixtures and combined expanded uncertainty U(x1) = 0.0001 (level of confidence = 0.95, k = 2).
