Abstract: The viscosity data of 61 gaseous substances under normal pressure are critically assessed.The datacollected were published either in the years from 1967 to 1979 for the fifty of the substances or from1960 to 1966 for the others.The mathematical expressions used in the literature for correlating viscositydata of gaseous substances with temperature are reviewed,systematized and selected to correlate thedata assessed.The constants of the selected correlations are determined by the method of least squareswith a digital computer.The values of viscosity calculated by these correlations are then compared withthe experimental measurements.For the four-constants correlations,η=A_0+A_1T+A_2T~2+A_3T~3(Ⅰ) and lnη=A_0+B_0lnT+B_1/T+B_2/T~2(Ⅱ),the overall per cent deviations are 0.160 and 0.157 respectively.Equation(Ⅰ) is recommended for simplicity of calculation.The two-constants correlations,η-KT~(3/2)/(C+T)(Ⅲ),η=A_0+A_1T(Ⅳ) and η=aT~n(Ⅴ) have nearly the same accuracy of estimating viscosity values.Equation(Ⅳ) is simple for use and equation (Ⅲ) can correlate data of wider temperature range with an overallper cent deviation of 0,460.
