Standard Viscosity-Temperature Charts for Liquid Petroleum Products
The kinematic viscosity-temperature charts covered by this standard are a convenient means to ascertain the kinematic viscosity of a petroleum oil or liquid hydrocarbon at any temperature within a limited range, provided that the kinematic viscosities at two temperatures are known. 1.2 The charts are designed to permit petroleum oil kinematic viscosity-temperature data to plot as a straight line. The charts here presented provide a significant improvement in linearity over the charts previously available under Method D341-43. This increases the reliability of extrapolation to higher temperatures.
