Endpoint:
viscosity
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Test Guideline 114 (Viscosity of Liquids)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Dynamic viscosity (Ƞ) of a Newtonian solvent is generally measured by viscosimeters. Rheometers are used to measure the flow behaviour of viscous fluids, including oils.[1] In this study, Ƞ was calculated by using a rotational rheometer which has recorded changes in solvent viscosity with temperature (°C). Ƞ is measured in Pa s or mPa s (cp).

Notes:

The exact temperatures for all 3 readings are 20.04°C and 40.03°C

Conclusions:
Dynamic viscosity values of 13.81 mPa.s at 20°C and 6.95 mPa.s at 40°C were determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered to be reliable.
