Summary of Test Method3.1 The kinematic viscosity at 40C (104F) and the densityat 15C of the oil are
8、 determined. If the oil is extremelyviscous, or if it is otherwise inconvenient to determine theviscosity at 40C, the kinematic viscosity at 100C (212F) canbe used. The viscosity-gravity constant is calculated from themeasured physical properties using the appropriate equation.4. Significance and Us
9、e4.1 The viscosity-gravity constant (VGC) is a useful func-tion for the approximate characterization of the viscous frac-tions of petroleum.2It is relatively insensitive to molecularweight and is related to a fluids composition as expressed interms of certain structural elements. Values of VGC near
10、0.800indicate samples of paraffinic character, while values close to1.00 indicate a preponderance of aromatic structures. Likeother indicators of hydrocarbon composition, the VGC shouldnot be indiscriminately applied to residual oils, asphalticmaterials, or samples containing appreciable quantities
11、ofnonhydrocarbons.5. Measurement of Physical Properties5.1 Preferably, determine the kinematic viscosity at 40C asdescribed in Test Method D445. However, if the sample isextremely viscous or if it is otherwise inconvenient to measurethe viscosity at 40C, the viscosity at 100C may be deter-mined.5.2
12、Determine the density at 15C in accordance with TestMethod D1298 or Test Method D4052. Equivalent results canbe obtained by determining API Gravity at 60F (15.56C) inaccordance with Test Method D287, and converting the resultto density at 15C by means of Table 3 of the PetroleumMeasurement Tables (A

Precision and Bias8.1 The calculation of viscosity-gravity constant from kine-matic viscosity at 40C and density at 15C is exact. Precisionlimits are not assigned to this calculation.8.2 The precision of the calculat
21、ed VGC is dependent onlyon the precision of the original determinations of viscosity anddensity. Those precision statements are found in their respec-tive test methods. The precision can be calculated as follows:8.2.1 For viscosity measured at 40C,rY510.94 2 0.109 log10V 2 5.5!(3)rG21 rV20.00224 Y 2

REVISION HISTORYX1.1 This current revision includes a change in Eq 1 andEq 2 in Section 6, Calculation of Viscosity-Gravity Constant.X1.1
31、.1 During a revision change from D2501-87 andD2501-91 there was a change in units from SUS (SayboltUniversal Seconds) to the SI unit of viscosity mm2/s (cSt). Thisunit change necessitated a modification of the Scope (1.1) from“in excess of 40 Saybolt Universal Seconds (SUS) at 100F(37.79C)” to “in e
32、xcess of 4 cSt. = 4 3 106m2/s at 40C(104F).” This change created a mathematical error of trying totake the log of a negative number in Eq 1 (in Section 6,Calculation of Viscosity-Gravity Constant) for V (KinematicViscosities) less than 5.5 cSt (mm2/s) and the Scope value inexcess of 4 cSt. (mm2/s).
33、Consensus input to this discrepancywas to change the Scope from “in excess of 4 cSt. = 4 3 106m2/s at 40C” to “5.5 mm2/s at 40C (104F) and in excess of0.8 mm2/s at 100C (212F).” This change was made in theD2501-11 revision.X1.2 Expected Average Differences in Section 8.3X1.2.1 Section 8.3 (Precision
34、 and Bias) discusses the “sta-tistical evaluation of VGC data derived from equivalent vis-cosities at both 100F and 210F suggests that in the rangefrom about 0.80 to 0.95 VGC, the expected average differencewill be approximately 0.003 units.” Because no evaluation hasbeen performed in SI units, the
35、retention of the English units(F) is retained.SUMMARY OF CHANGESSubcommittee D02.04 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue(D250191(2005) that may impact the use of this standard.(1) Changed units of measurement of kinematic viscosity to SIunits.(2) Adde
