Electrical Conductivity of Fluids
Electrical Conductivity of Fluids
(OP)
Hello,
I am after the electrical conductivities of a number of reasonably common fluids. I've looked in a number of literature sources but these properties have been, so far, fairly elusive. Does anyone know of any literature sources that have any data on electrical conductivity?
The fluids I'm after are:
Toluene
Xylene
Butyl acetate
Ethyl methacrylate
Thanks,
Shaun

RE: Electrical Conductivity of Fluids
Toluene dielectric constant is 2.4
Xylene dielectric constant is 2.3
Butyl acetate dielectric constant is 5.1
Ethyl methacrylate dielectric constant is 5.7
The dielectric constand pertains to the ability to conduct alternating current. The dielectric constant of a vaccum is one. Distilled water is 34. The dielectric constants are published for specific temperatures.

Thanks for the response it is much appreciated. I have heard dielectric constants mentioned along these lines but could not find any data on the above fluids.
Regards,
Shaun.

Googling for static charge relaxation (aka decay) times I found the following values for conductivities in mho/cm at 25 Celsius:
Toluene: 5×10-14
m-Xylene: 9×10-14
Butyl acetate: 2×10-8
I didn't find anything on ethyl methacrylate.
