Erratum: “Revisiting the ASME Pressure–Viscosity Report Using the Tait-Doolittle Correlations” [ASME J. Tribol., 2021, 143(6), p. 061901

Abstract

Table 3 should be corrected as shown below to list a reference temperature of 311 K which was used throughout the Zolper et al. [1] manuscript. The fit parameters in the table are unchanged.The authors originally used Blok’s integral to calculate the pressure–viscosity index. On further review, it was found that Bair and Qureshi’s [2] equation below gives better results(5)α*=[η0αNηN+∑i=1Nη0αiηi−ηi−1ηiηi−1]−1,αi=ln(ηi/ηi−1)Pi−Pi−1
