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 a
4、 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 t
5、o 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 w
6、ith 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 t
7、est 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 r

The essential elementsof the apparatus in respect to dimensions, desig
32、n, and operational characteristics are the same as those of the manual method.3.3.1.1 DiscussionAutomated viscometers have the capability to mimic some operation of the test method while reducing or removing the need formanual intervention or interpretation.Apparatus which determine kinematic viscos

34、 material.3.3.3.1 DiscussionIt 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. D
35、ynamic viscosity has 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 ()
36、to the density () of a material at the same temperatureand pressure.3.3.4.1 DiscussionKinematic viscosity is the ratio between momentum transport and momentum storage. Such ratios are called diffusivities withdimensions of length squared divided by time and the SI unit is metre squared divided by se
37、cond (m2/s). Among the 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 generall
38、y, it is the ratio between 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 viscomete
39、r covered by this test 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 cal
40、ibrated viscometerunder 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 kinema
41、tic viscosity result 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 add
42、ition, the viscosity 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 capil
