Abstract The ultrasonic sound velocity of the unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters from acetate to nonadecanoate, methyl oleate, linoleate, linolenate, and erucate have been measured at 20C and 40C in the liquid state. Data of the saturated compounds were correlated with the Smittenberg relation and a reasonable fit was noted. The molar sound velocity according to Rao was computed from the observed values and increments for the CH 2 group and for the double bond are presented.
