1.1 ,This test method covers the laboratory determination of high-temperature high-shear (HTHS) viscosity of engine oils at a temperature of 150 ,°,C using a multicell capillary viscometer containing pressure, temperature, and timing instrumentation. The shear rate for this test method corresponds to an apparent shear rate at the wall of 1.4 million reciprocal seconds (1.4 ,×, ,10 ⁶ s^−,1).3 This shear rate has been found to decrease the discrepancy between this test method and other high-temperature high-shear test methods3 (Test Methods D4683 and D4741) used for engine oil specifications. Viscosities are determined directly from calibrations that have been established with Newtonian oils with nominal viscosities from 1.4 ,mPa·,s to 5.0 mPa·,s at 150 ,°,C. The precision has only been determined for the viscosity range 1.45 ,mPa·,s and 5.05 mPa·,s at 150 °,C for the materials listed in the precision section.
