The setup of the equipmentincludes calibration with toluene and its validation with n-dodecane.A falling body viscometer able to measure viscosities at T = (253.15 to 523.15) K and p = (0.1 to 140) MPa is also presented in this work. Results of calibration with toluene and its verification with n-heptane and n-dodecane are reported.The detailed uncertainty budgets for both techniques are included in this work. Moreover, thepaper studies the compatibility of the results obtained using both techniques according to theircorresponding uncertainties in order to obtain reliable data. New viscosity measurements of1,2,4-trimethylbenzene and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane have been performed and included in thepaper.
