In this work, experimental density data were reported for six fatty acid methyl esters, including methyl butyrate, methyl valerate, methyl caproate, methyl pelargonate, methyl heptanoate, and methyl caprylate. The densities were measured from 293.15 K to 363.15 K and pressures up to 60 MPa by a vibrating tube densimeter. The relative uncertainty of the measurement is estimated less than 0.001 with a confidence level of 0.95. The high pressure densities were correlated with a Tait-type equation. The overall average relative deviation between experimental data and calculated results from Tait equation for the six fatty acid esters is 0.010%. The derived thermodynamic properties, such as isobaric thermal expansivity and isothermal compressibility, were obtained from the experimental density results. Additionally, for the studied esters, the molecular parameters of the PC-SAFT equation of state were obtained based on the corresponding vapor pressures and liquid densities. The PC-SAFT equation was used to predict the high pressure densities of the esters, and good agreements were observed. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
