Full Description

1.1This test method covers the determination of the rotational viscosity and the shear thinning properties of heavy duty diesel engine drain oils at 100C, in the shear rate range of approximately 10s^-1 to 300s^-1, in the shear stress range of approximately 0.1Pa to 10Pa and the viscosity range of approximately 12mPas to 35mPas. Rotational viscosity values can be compared at a shear rate of 100 s^-1 by this test method.2^,3
