Methyl caprylate characterizes high cetane number and oxidative stability and it has the potential to be used as one of the main components of biodiesels. Experimental speeds of sound in methyl caprylate are very scarce, especially in high temperature region. Therefore, the speed of sound in liquid methyl caprylate was measured by the Brillouin light scattering (BLS) method in the temperature range from (298.22 to 608.38) K and pressures up to 10 MPa. The relative expanded uncertainty of the speed of sound is estimated to be less than 1.32% (Coverage factor k=2). The variation of the speed of sound with the temperature and pressure was analyzed. Besides, the correlation for the speed of sound as a function of temperature and pressure is presented based on the experimental data. The absolute average of relative deviation (AARD) between the experimental data and the calculated results is 0.29%.
