Kinematic viscosity and density of engine oils
Abstract
In order to determine the loss of engine power due to internal friction and to estimate the performance of engine oil it is necessary to know its kinematic viscosity and density in a wide temperature range. The authors studied experimentally these physicochemical properties of a number of engine oils at temperatures from 18 to 90/sup 0/ with the aid of VPZh-2 capillary viscosimeters and single-neck pycnometers; the average errors of the measurements were about 1.5% in the case of viscosity and below 0.5% in the case of density.
