Effect Of Viscosity Variations In this experiment, we can measure the viscosity of the oil at all working temperatures and determine whether it will be sufficiently ‘thin’ when cold, for say, an ...

Every fleet owner should know the basics about the viscosity of the lubricants they are using and why the viscosity matters. Fleets—especially mixed ones—require a variety of lubricants. This ranges ...

With an increase in temperature in a fluid, there is typically an increase in the molecular interchange as molecules move faster in higher temperatures. Viscosity typically decreases as temperature ...

A recent study used various gas oils and blends with residual heavy oils in order to evaluate the predictability of four different correlations. The gas oils differed substantially in their ...

Manufacturers looking to improve the fuel economy of off-road equipment should take a lesson from the automotive industry. Straight-grade engine oils have not been approved for use in passenger cars ...
