Summary of Practice4.1 The Wright Blending Method calculates the viscosity of a blend of components at a given temperature from the knownviscosities, temperatures, and blending fractions of the components. The viscosities and temperatures of the componen
23、ts and theblend are mathematically transformed into MacCoull-Walther-Wright functions. The temperatures at which each component hastwo reference viscosities are calculated. The transformed reference temperatures are summed over all components as a weightedaverage, with the blend fractions as the wei

The two temperatures at which the blend has the reference viscositiesare used to calculate the blend viscosity at any other temperature.4.2 The Inverse Wright Blending Method calculates the blend fractions of components required to meet a target blend viscosityfrom the known viscosit
25、ies and temperatures of the components. The viscosities and temperatures of the components and the blendare mathematically transformed into MacCoull-Walther-Wright functions. The temperatures at which each component has thetarget blend viscosity are calculated. The component transformed temperatures
26、 are summed over all components, as a weightedaverage, to meet the target blend transformed temperature. The weighting factors are the desired blend fractions, which areobtained by inverting the weighted summation equation.4.3 The ASTM Blending Method calculates the viscosity of a blend of component

Significance and Use5.1 Predicting the viscosity of a blend of components is a common problem. Both the Wright Blending Method and the ASTMBlending Method, described in
31、 this practice, may be used to solve this problem.5.2 The inverse problem, predicating the required blend fractions of components to meet a specified viscosity at a giventemperature may also be solved using either the Inverse Wright Blending Method or the Inverse ASTM Blending Method.D7152 1125.3 Th
32、e Wright Blending Methods are generally preferred since they have a firmer basis in theory, and are more accurate. TheWright Blending Methods require component viscosities to be known at two temperatures. The ASTM Blending Methods aremathematically simpler and may be used when viscosities are known
33、at a single temperature.5.4 Although this practice was developed using kinematic viscosity and volume fraction of each component, the dynamicviscosity or mass fraction, or both, may be used instead with minimal error if the densities of the components do not differ greatly.For fuel blends, it was fo
34、und that viscosity blending using mass fractions gave more accurate results. For base stock blends, therewas no significant difference between mass fraction and volume fraction calculations.5.5 The calculations described in this practice have been computerized as a spreadsheet and are available as a
