Record 1 2000-06-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Black Products (Petroleum)
DEF

The time in seconds for 60 milliliters of fluid to flow through a capillary tube in a Saybolt Universal viscosimeter at a given temperature.

DEF

Viscosity as determined by the number of seconds required for an oil heated to 130°F for lighter oils and 210° for heavier oils to flow through a standard orifice and fill a 60 millimeter flask.

CONT

The time required for the flow of a specific volume of fluid is recorded in seconds at three different temperatures (100°F, 130°F, and 210°F), is referred to as the Saybolt viscosity, and is written as Saybolt second universal (SSU).

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
  • Produits noirs (Pétrole)
CONT

L'indice de viscosité est établi par comparaison des viscosités Saybolt à 100 °F [...] de l'huile étudiée [...] et des huiles étalons [...] ayant [la] même viscosité Saybolt à 210 °F [...]

OBS

Unités de viscosité. [...] la viscosité Engler d'un liquide est le rapport du temps d'écoulement de 200 cm³ de liquide au temps d'écoulement de 200 cm³ d'eau à 20 °C dans un viscomètre Engler. Avec les viscosimètres Saybolt (États-Unis) et Redwood (Grande-Bretagne), on note directement, en secondes, le temps d'écoulement de 60 ou 50 cm³ de liquide.

DEF

Viscosidad determinada por el número de segundos que se requieren para que un aceite a una temperatura definida fluya a través de un orificio calibrado de un viscosímetro Saybolt.
