Rice University used the absolute capillary method to measure the viscosity of methane, hydrogen, and mixtures (nominally 20, 40, 60, and 80% hydrogen) at 0, -50, -75, and -100/sup 0/C at pressures from 4 up to 450 to 500 atm. The maximum probable error of the calculated viscosity is estimated to be 0.5%. The viscosity data were fit by the least-squares method to give 1.193 +- 0.034 for the Hagenbach factor for the kinetic correction in the vicosity formula. The residual-viscosity concept was obeyed within +- 1% except for hydrogen and the 80% hydrogen mixture. The deviations for these are attributed to first-order quantum effects.
