Petroleum products and related products - Determination of kinematic viscosity - Method by Stabinger type viscosimeter

This European Standard specifies a procedure for the determination of kinematic viscosity (?) in the range from 2 mm2/s to 6 mm2/s at 40°C by calculation from dynamic viscosity (?) and density (?) of middle distillate fuels, fatty acid methyl ester fuels (FAME) and mixtures of these using the Stabinger-type viscosimeter. The result obtained using the procedure described in this standard depends on the behaviour of the sample. This European Standard should be used predominantly on liquids whose shear stress and shear rate are proportional (Newtonian flow behaviour). However, if the viscosity changes significantly with the shear rate, comparison with other measuring methods is only permissible at similar shear rates. WARNING - The use of this Standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this standard to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and health of personnel prior to the application of the Standard, and fulfil st
