ABSTRACT
A measurement system for compressed liquid densities over the temperature range of (293 to 373) K with pressures up to 70 MPa has been developed in this work. The core component of the system is a commercial vibrating tube densimeter (DMA-HPM) and the system was calibrated by water and vacuum via the method of Lagourette et al. Compressed liquid densities of dimethyl ether have been measured along nine isotherms between (293.84 and 372.94) K up to 70 MPa with the densimeter system as a function of temperature and pressure. The experimental data obtained in this work were correlated to the Tait equation with an average absolute percentage deviation of 0.014%. Also, the Tait equation was compared with the literature data.
