Executive summary:

Test Guidance

The viscosity of the test substance was determined according to ASTM D445-97 Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque liquids (the Calculation of Dynamic Viscosity).

Method and materials

Viscosities were measured on 235 different QC batches at two temperatures,

Results

The mean values obtained were:

Viscosity at 100°C is 7.16 cSt

Viscosity at 40°C is 52.2 cSt
