The influence of non‐locality of pseudopotentials on liquid metal resistivity of transition metals is investigated. A simple first order approximation is used to evaluate this influence of non‐locality and calculations are carried out for a few transition metals. The agreement obtained between theory and experiment is good showing that local approximations are not adequate for the calculation of liquid metal resistivity of non‐simple metals.
