NOTWITHSTANDING some statements in the literature to the effect that glycerol and its aqueous solutions are not entirely suitable liquids for use as viscosity standards in calibrating technical viscometers, these solutions have come into common use for this purpose. The principal objection offered against them lies in the fact that solutions above approximately 85 percent glycerol are hygroscopic, whereas those below this concentration give up w'ater when exposed to average humidity conditions. Experience has shown that these properties do not offer serious difficulties if the facts are recognized and precautions taken to obviate changes in concentration on these accounts. The principal points in favor of their use for calibrating purpose are the ready availability in pure form, wide range of viscosities, and ease of standardization as to glycerol content; cp glycerol of exceptionally high purity is available on the present market in concentrations from 95 to 99 per cent. The difference represents largely water, there being usually less than 0.01 per cent foreign impurities present in the c. p. grade.Consequently, the range of viscosities obtainable upon the more highly concentrated grade and its aqueous solutions is from 12.00 to 0.01 poises. By means of an accurate specific gravity determination the percentage glycerol concentration can be determined within±0.02 per cent. With this infor-mation at hand, a table showing the absolute viscosities of varying concentrations would complete the information necessary for thepurpose.
