Included here are data on (1) viscosity and density/SG of stocks as a function of temperature; (2) relationships for chords, diameters, and areas of circular cross-sections that are used in vessel and tower design; and (3) boiling and freezing points for normal alkanes or paraffins up to a carbon number of 120.
