Preliminary Report on Viscosity Determinations on a Potassium-Sodium Alloy

Abstract

An Ostwald type viscometer has been used to measure values of viscosity on a potassium-sodium alloy which was 43.4 percent potassium by weight. Viscosity of the alloy at 72 deg C was 1.267 relative to water at the same temperature. The values at higher temperatures were calculated from the volumes of alloy flowing per second at those temperatures, and the constant determined for the apparatus at 72 deg C.
