Liquid densities and heat capacities at 1 MPa, and kinematic viscosities at atmospheric pressure of monoethylene glycol dimethyl ether (MEGDME), diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGDME), triethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TrEGDME), tetrathylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME), pentaethylene glycol dimethyl ether (PeEGDME), and polyethylene glycol 250 dimethyl ether (PEGDMe 250) were measured in the temperature range from 283.15 to 423.15 K. For each substance, experimental data were correlated with temperature using empirical polynomial equations. The experimental data were also used to evaluate the predictive capability of some estimation methods of liquid densities and heat capacities for the studied ethylene glycol dimethyl ethers. The densities estimated by the Yen-Woods equation agree with the experimental values with a root-mean-square relative deviation (RMSD) of 3.21% for all ethylene glycol dimethyl ethers. The best estimated results of liquid heat capacities were obtained from the Rowlinson equation based on the corresponding-states principle, with a RMSD of 1.12%. The group-contribution methods give the worst results, especially at high temperatures.
