1.1 ,This test method specifies a procedure for the determination of the kinematic viscosity, ν,, of liquid petroleum products, both transparent and opaque, by measuring the time for a volume of liquid to flow under gravity through a calibrated glass capillary viscometer. The dynamic viscosity, η,, can be obtained by multiplying the kinematic viscosity, ν,, by the density, ρ,, of the liquid.
Note 1: ,For the measurement of the kinematic viscosity and viscosity of bitumens, see also Test Methods D2170 and D2171.
