Kinematic viscosity of transparent and
opaque liquids (and calculation of dynamic
viscosity) - Test method
(First revision)
This test method specifies a procedure for the determination
of the kinematic viscosity, ν, of liquid petroleum
products, both transparent and opaque, by measuring the time
for a volume of liquid to flow under gravity through a
calibrated glass capillary viscometer. The dynamic viscosity, η,
can be obtained by multiplying the kinematic viscosity, ν, by
the density, ρ, of the liquid.
