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

below:

 

Time of flow, t	C
40 to 85 seconds	0.264
85 to 2000	0.247

 

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

= 66 × 0.264sec

= 17.42mm²/sec

 

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν=ct

= 57.3 × 0.264sec

= 15.12 mm²/sec 

 

 

2. Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20°C

ν=η/ρ

17.42 =η 1.116

η = 17.42 x 1.116

= 19.44 mPa.S

 

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν=η/ρ

15.12 =η/ 1.116

η = 15.12 x 1.116

= 16.88 mPa.S
