Therefore the kinematic viscosity () is a measureof the resistance to
16、flow of a liquid under gravity.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A test specimen is introduced into the measuring cells,which are controlled at a specified and known temperature. Themeasuring cells consist of a horizontal capillary tube withoptical sensors and an oscillating U-tube densitometer. Thedynam
17、ic viscosity is determined from the flow time of the testspecimen along the capillary under a constant pressure ofcompressed air in conjunction with calculations. The density isdetermined by the oscillation frequency of the U-tube inconjunction with calculations. The kinematic viscosity iscalculated
18、 by dividing the dynamic viscosity by the density.5. Significance and Use5.1 Many petroleum products are used as lubricants and thecorrect operation of the equipment depends upon the appropri-ate viscosity of the liquid being used. In addition, the viscosityof many petroleum fuels is important for t
19、he estimation ofoptimum storage, handling, and operational conditions. Thus,the accurate determination of viscosity is essential to manyproduct specifications.5.2 Density is a fundamental physical property that can beused in conjunction with other properties to characterize boththe light and heavy f

Apparatus6.1 Constant Pressure Viscometer:4,56.1.1 Viscosity MeasurementThe Constant Pressure vis-cometer uses the Hagen-Poiseuille principle of capillary flowto dete
21、rmine the viscosity. A length of capillary tube isenclosed horizontally in a thermal block maintained at aconstant temperature by thermoelectric coolers/heaters. Thetest specimen is driven to flow along the tube by a constant andregulated pressure of compressed air. The transit time of thetest sampl
22、e as it flows past an array of optical detectors ismeasured. (See Fig. 1.) The dynamic viscosity is proportionalto the measured transit time.6.1.2 Density MeasurementDensity is measured by a suit-able method so to achieve the precision in kinematic viscosityas stated in the tables in Section 12. A U
23、-shaped oscillatingsample tube with a system for electronic excitation andfrequency counting as described in the manufacturers instruc-tions is suitable. However, for this test method, the purpose ofthe density result is for the calculation from dynamic tokinematic viscosity.6.1.3 Temperature Contro
