Experimental results of measurements of the bubble and slug lengths in Taylor (slug) flow are presented. The experiments were carried out using 3 different straight microchannels (microreactor with square cross-section made of polydimethyloxosilane (PDMS); microreactor with circular cross-section made of glass; microreactor with rectangular cross-section made of polyethylene terephthalate modified by glycol (PETg)) and 4 different liquids (water, ethanol propanol and heptane). The results have been compared with the available literature correlations. It is concluded, that the values obtained from the correlation proposed by Laborie et al. [Laborie, S. Cabassud, C., Durant-Bourlier, L., Laine, J.M., 1999. Characterization of gas-liquid two-phase flow inside capillaries. Chem Eng Sci 54, 5723-5735] do not agree with the results of measurements, while the agreement of these results with the predictions obtained using the correlation proposed by Qian and Lawal [Qian, D., Lawal, A., 2006. Numerical study on gas and liquid slugs for Taylor flow in a T-junction microchannel. Chem Eng Sci 61, 7609-7625] is good.
