Scope*1.1 This practice2covers the procedures for calculating theviscosity index of petroleum products, such as lubricating oils,and related materials from their kinematic viscosities at 40 and100C.NOTE 1The results obtained from t
4、he calculation of VI from kine-matic viscosities determined at 40 and 100C are virtually the same asthose obtained from the former VI system using kinematic viscositiesdetermined at 37.78 and 98.89C.1.2 This practice does not apply to petroleum products withkinematic viscosities less than 2.0 mm2/s
5、at 100C. Table 1given in this practice applies to petroleum products withkinematic viscosities between 2 and 70 mm2/s at 100C.Equations are provided for calculating viscosity index forpetroleum products having kinematic viscosities above70 mm2/s at 100C.1.2.1 In cases where kinematic viscosity data
6、are not avail-able at temperatures of 40 and 100C, an estimate may be madeof the viscosity index by calculating the kinematic viscosity attemperatures of 40 and 100C from data obtained at othertemperatures. Such viscosity index data may be considered assuitable for information only and not for speci
