Viscosity value of gaseous TiCl4

I need an expression for the viscosity of gaseous TiCl4 (titanium tetrachloride) at around 1000C (800-1200C). Perhaps someone with property predicting software (Aspen or PREDICT) could run a couple of temperatures so I can fit a curve? If so I'd be very greatful.
Thanks in advance,

Okay, here's your numbers. Remember, their value is what you paid for them.

800C, 0.033 cP
900C, 0.035 cP
1000C, 0.038 cP

If you've got any data on the viscosities, I strongly suggest you use it (or find some) to do a reality check on these numbers. By the way, I assumed low pressure, 20 psia though pressure does not have a significant effect on gas viscosity until you get quite high.
 
Thanks TD2K for the TiCl4 viscosity values. I appreciate the obscure nature of the request and therefore the uncertainty associated with the data. I had one value previously and have generated some more using the Reichenberg correlation(ref Perry 7, 2-363) together with the critical pressure and temperature values for TiCl4 obtained from The values you posted are a little higher than the calculated ones, but I will use then to construct a sensitivity analysis. Can you provide a reference for the values you posted so I can quote it in the final report?

Thank you for you assistance with this unusual request!
