2、 following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been
3、approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method specifies a procedure for the determination of the kinematic viscosity, , of liquid petroleum products, bothtransparent and opaque, by measuring the time for a volume of liquid to flow under gravity through
4、a calibrated glass capillaryviscometer. The dynamic viscosity, , can be obtained by multiplying the kinematic viscosity, , by the density, , of the liquid.NOTE 1For the measurement of the kinematic viscosity and viscosity of bitumens, see also Test Methods D2170 and D2171.NOTE 2ISO 3104 corresponds
5、to Test Method D445 03.1.2 The result obtained from this test method is dependent upon the behavior of the sample and is intended for application toliquids for which primarily the shear stress and shear rates are proportional (Newtonian flow behavior). If, however, the viscosityvaries significantly
6、with the rate of shear, different results may be obtained from viscometers of different capillary diameters. Theprocedure and precision values for residual fuel oils, which under some conditions exhibit non-Newtonian behavior, have beenincluded.1.3 The range of kinematic viscosities covered by this
7、test method is from 0.2 mm2/s to 300 000 mm2/s (see Table A1.1) at alltemperatures (see 6.3 and 6.4). The precision has only been determined for those materials, kinematic viscosity ranges andtemperatures as shown in the footnotes to the precision section.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be
8、regarded as standard. The SI unit used in this test method for kinematic viscosity ismm2/s, and the SI unit used in this test method for dynamic viscosity is mPas. For user reference, 1 mm2/s = 10-6 m2/s = 1 cStand 1 mPas = 1 cP = 0.001 Pas.1.5 WARNINGMercury has been designated by many regulatory a

34、cussionIt is sometimes called the coefficient of dynamic viscosity or absolute viscosity. Dynamic viscosity is a measure of resistance toflow or deformation which constitutes a materials ability to transfer momentum in response to steady or time-dependent externalshear forces. Dynamic viscosity has
35、the dimension of mass divided by length and time and its SI unit is pascal times second (Pas).Among the transport properties for heat, mass, and momentum transfer, dynamic viscosity is the momentum conductivity.3.3.4 kinematic viscosity, , nthe ratio of the dynamic viscosity () to the density () of

Such ratios are called diffusivities withdimensions of length squared divided by time and the SI unit is metre squared divided by second (m2/s). Among th
37、e transportproperties for heat, mass, and momentum transfer, kinematic viscosity is the momentum diffusivity.3.3.4.2 DiscussionFormerly, kinematic viscosity was defined specifically for viscometers covered by this test method as the resistance to flow undergravity. More generally, it is the ratio be
38、tween momentum transport and momentum storage.3.3.4.3 DiscussionFor gravity-driven flow under a given hydrostatic head, the pressure head of a liquid is proportional to its density, , if the densityof air is negligible compared to that of the liquid. For any particular viscometer covered by this tes
39、t method, the time of flow ofa fixed volume of liquid is directly proportional to its kinematic viscosity, , where = , and is the dynamic viscosity.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The time is measured for a fixed volume of liquid to flow under gravity through the capillary of a calibrated viscometerund
40、er a reproducible driving head and at a closely controlled and known temperature. The kinematic viscosity (determined value)is the product of the measured flow time and the calibration constant of the viscometer. Two such determinations are needed fromwhich to calculate a kinematic viscosity result
41、that is the average of two acceptable determined values.5. Significance and Use5.1 Many petroleum products, and some non-petroleum materials, are used as lubricants, and the correct operation of theequipment depends upon the appropriate viscosity of the liquid being used. In addition, the viscosity
42、of many petroleum fuels isimportant for the estimation of optimum storage, handling, and operational conditions. Thus, the accurate determination ofviscosity is essential to many product specifications.6. Apparatus6.1 ViscometersUse only calibrated viscometers of the glass capillary type, capable of

It is not intended to restrict this test
44、 method to the use of only those viscometers listed in Table A1.1. AnnexA1 gives further guidance.6.1.2 Automated ViscometersAutomated apparatus may be used as long as they mimic the physical conditions, operations orprocesses of the manual apparatus.
