The viccosity and density of 2-methyltetrahydorfuran have been determined from -60 to 23/sup 0/C. Viscosity measurements were made using a Ubbelohde viscometer and the density measurements were made using a pycnometer of our own design. The data are represented by the following formulae: ln eta = -3.635 + 896.8T/sup -1/ and d = 1.138 - 9.56 x 10/sup -4/ T, where eta is the viscosity in centipoise, d, the density in grams per cubic centimeter, and T, the temperature in /sup 0/K. Previous literature data, which extend the viscosity into the glassy state, are included. 6 figures, 4 tables.
