A new correlation for the viscosity of ethylbenzene is presented. The correlation is based upon a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for internal consistency and for agreement with theory. It is applicable in the temperature range from the triple point to 673 K at pressures up to 110 MPa. The overall uncertainty of the proposed correlation, estimated as the combined expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor of 2, varies from 1% for the viscosity at atmospheric pressure to 5% for the highest temperatures and pressures of interest. Tables of the viscosity, generated by the relevant equations at selected temperatures and pressures and along the saturation line, are provided. Comparison of viscosity of xylene isomers indicated that at very high temperatures the viscosity correlation of para-xylene has higher uncertainty than previously postulated. Thus, in this work we also provide a revised viscosity correlation for p-xylene.
