Where, ν= Kinematic viscosity

η= Dynamic viscosity

ρ= Density of fluid

1. Calculation of Kinematic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20°C

ν=ct

= 56.6 × 0.264sec

= 14.9424mm²/sec

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν=ct

= 43.6 × 0.264sec

= 11.5104 mm²/sec

2. Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20°C

ν= η/ρ

14.9424 =η 1.4162

η = 14.9424 x 1.4162

= 21.1614 mPa.S

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν= η/ρ

11.5104 =η/ 1.4162

η = 11.5104 x 1.4162

= 16.3010 mPa.S

Conclusions:
Dynamic viscosity (calculated) of test chemical at 20 0C and 40 0C is 21.1614 mPa.S and 16.3010 mPa.S, respectively.
Executive summary:

The viscosity determination of test substance was done as per the test guideline OECD 114 using Redwood Viscometer No. 1. Dynamic viscosity (calculated) of test chemical at 20 0C and 40 0C is 21.1614m Pa.S and 16.3010m Pa.S, respectively.
