![]() ![]() The criticality of kinematic viscosity measurement prompted the petroleum industry to develop a precise method, first published in 1937, ASTM D445, Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids. Small changes in viscosity can have a dramatic impact on the properties of petroleum fluids. ![]() It is an important measurement characteristic in the food, paint, polymer coating and other industries where flow is a critical product or use characteristic. The viscosity of crude oil affects our ability to pump it out of the ground the viscosity and volatility of a fuel affects how easy it is to atomize in the fuel injector the viscosity of a lubricant affects its ability to protect an engine. It is one of the most important properties of a fluid and plays a prominent role in the petroleum industry. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. ![]()
