(1) Choice of nomenclature is one of the most difficult
tasks in assembling any table of chemical data, especially one containing
a variety of hydrocarbons that have become widely known by non-scientific
names. We have generally used IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied
Chemistry) nomenclature as the primary name; widely used synonyms are
also included — sometimes these are shown as the primary name, depending
on common usage. In a very few cases, the IUPAC designation is quite technical,
and not widely used in industry, and so has been left out of this table
entirely. It is always best to reference CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service)
numbers to make sure the correct material is being evaluated.

a standard unit of measurement for viscosity. cs is the abbreviation
for centistoke, which is a measure used in viscosity cup tests; it equals
centipoise divided by specific density.
