“…As part of continuing studies (Sagdeev et al, , , , , , ; Usmanov et al, ) of the effect of temperature and pressure on the thermophysical properties of working fluids, the density and viscosity measurements were made for oleic acid, using a modified hydrostatic weighing densimeter (HWD), over a wide temperature range at atmospheric pressure. The HWD was used in our previous publications for accurate measurements of the density and viscosity of pure liquids (Sagdeev et al, , , , , , , , , ) and liquid mixtures (Sagdeev et al, , , , , , ) at temperatures from (273.15 to 413.15) K and at pressures up to 140 MPa. Recently, (Sagdeev et al, ) a modified HWD instrument was employed to measure density of high‐viscosity working liquids for diffusion vacuum pumps over a wide temperature range (273 to 473) K at atmospheric pressure.…”
