  2. List of viscosities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    For kinematic viscosity, the SI unit is m^2/s. In engineering, the unit is usually Stoke or centiStoke, with 1 Stoke = 0.0001 m^2/s, and 1 centiStoke = 0.01 Stoke. For liquid, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 0.001 to 1 Pascal-second, or 1 to 1000 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 1000 kg/m^3, i.e. that of water.

  3. SAE J300 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J300

    To assign non-winter grades, kinematic viscosity is graded by ASTM D445 or ASTM D7042, measuring the time it takes for a standard amount of oil at a temperature of 100 °C (212 °F) to flow through a standard orifice, in units of mm 2 /s (millimetre squared per second) or the equivalent older non-SI units, centistokes (abbreviated cSt). The ...

  4. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    The centipoise is convenient because the viscosity of water at 20 °C is about 1 cP, and one centipoise is equal to the SI millipascal second (mPa·s). The SI unit of kinematic viscosity is square meter per second (m 2 /s), whereas the CGS unit for kinematic viscosity is the stokes (St, or cm 2 ·s −1 = 0.0001 m 2 ·s −1), named after Sir ...

  5. Viscosity index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_index

    where U is the oil's kinematic viscosity at 40 °C (104 °F), Y is the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100 °C (212 °F), and L and H are the viscosities at 40 °C for two hypothetical oils of VI 0 and 100 respectively, having the same viscosity at 100 °C as the oil whose VI we are trying to determine.

  6. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    The dilute gas viscosity contribution to the total viscosity of a fluid will only be important when predicting the viscosity of vapors at low pressures or the viscosity of dense fluids at high temperatures. The viscosity model for dilute gas, that is shown above, is widely used throughout the industry and applied science communities.

  7. Temperature dependence of viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_dependence_of...

    Increasing temperature results in a decrease in viscosity because a larger temperature means particles have greater thermal energy and are more easily able to overcome the attractive forces binding them together. An everyday example of this viscosity decrease is cooking oil moving more fluidly in a hot frying pan than in a cold one.

  9. List of vegetable oils - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vegetable_oils

    A number of oils are used for biofuel (biodiesel and Straight Vegetable Oil) in addition to having other uses. Other oils are used only as biofuel. [note 4] [147] Although diesel engines were invented, in part, with vegetable oil in mind, [148] diesel fuel is almost exclusively petroleum-based. Vegetable oils are evaluated for use as a biofuel ...
