CALCULATIONS:

ν= ct----------------------------------------- (i)

Where,ν= Kinematic viscosity

c= Viscometer constant

t= time of flow in seconds (Redwood second) For Redwood Viscometer- I, the values for the constants are as

ν=η/ρ------------------------------ (ii)

Where,ν= Kinematic viscosity

η= Dynamic viscosity

ρ= Density of fluid

1. Calculation of Kinematic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20°C

ν=ct

= 79 × 0.264sec

= 20.8560mm²/sec

 

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν=ct

= 65.3 × 0.264sec

= 17.2392 mm²/sec

 

2. Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20°C

ν= η/ρ

20.8560 =η 0.8706

η = 20.8560 x 0.8706

= 18.1572 mPa.S

 

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν= η/ρ

17.2392 =η/ 0.8706

η = 17.2392 x 0.8706

= 15.0084 mPa.S
