17、scosity (n), nthe ratio of the dynamicviscosity (h) to the density (r) of a liquid.3.1.3.1 DiscussionFor gravity flow under a given hydro-static head, the pressure head of a liquid is proportional to itsdensity (r). Therefore the kinematic viscosity (n) is a measureof the resistance to flow of a liq
18、uid under gravity.3.1.4 relative density (also called specific gravity (SG),nthe ratio of the density of a material at a stated temperatureto the density of a reference material (usually water) at a statedtemperature.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The test specimen is introduced into the measuring cel
19、ls,which are at a closely controlled and known temperature. Themeasuring cells consist of a pair of rotating concentric cylin-ders and an oscillating U-tube. The dynamic viscosity isdetermined from the equilibrium rotational speed of the innercylinder under the influence of the shear stress of the t
20、estspecimen and an eddy current brake in conjunction withadjustment data. The density is determined by the oscillationfrequency of the U-tube in conjunction with adjustment data.The kinematic viscosity is calculated by dividing the dynamicviscosity by the density.5. Significance and Use5.1 Many petr
21、oleum products, and some non-petroleummaterials, are used as lubricants and the correct operation ofthe equipment depends upon the appropriate viscosity of theliquid being used. In addition, the viscosity of many petroleumfuels is important for the estimation of optimum storage,handling, and operati
22、onal conditions. Thus, the accurate deter-mination of viscosity is essential to many product specifica-tions.5.2 Density is a fundamental physical property that can beused in conjunction with other properties to characterize boththe light and heavy fractions of petroleum and petroleumproducts.5.3 De
23、termination of the density or relative density ofpetroleum and its products is necessary for the conversion ofmeasured volumes to volumes at the standard temperature of15C.6. Apparatus6.1 Stabinger Viscometer5,66.1.1 Viscosity measurementThe Stabinger viscometeruses a rotational coaxial cylinder mea
24、suring system. The outercylinder (tube) is driven by a motor at a constant and knownrotational speed. The low-density inner cylinder (rotor) is heldin the axis of rotation by the centrifugal forces of the higherdensity sample and in its longitudinal position by the magnetand the soft iron ring. Cons
25、equently, the system works free ofbearing friction as found in rotational viscometers. A perma-nent magnet in the inner cylinder induces eddy currents in thesurrounding copper casing. The rotational speed of the innercylinder establishes itself as the result of the equilibriumbetween the driving tor
26、que of the viscous forces and theretarding eddy current torque. This rotational speed is mea-sured by an electronic system (Hall effect sensor) by countingthe frequency of the rotating magnetic field (see Fig. 1 and Fig.2, No. 2).6.1.2 Density MeasurementThe digital density analyzeruses a U-shaped o
27、scillating sample tube and a system forelectronic excitation and frequency counting (see Fig. 2, No.3).6.1.3 Temperature ControlThe copper block surroundsboth the viscosity and the density measuring cell in a way thatboth cells are held at the same temperature. A thermoelectricheating and cooling sy
28、stem (see Fig. 2, No. 1) ensures thetemperature stability of the copper block within 60.005Cfrom the set temperature at the position of the viscosity cellover the whole temperature range. The uncertainty (k = 2; 95 %confidence level) of the temperature calibration shall be nomore than 60.03C over th
29、e range from 15 to 100C. Outsidethis range the calibration uncertainty shall be no more than60.05C.6.1.4 The thermal equilibration time depends on the heatcapacity and conductivity of the liquid and on the differencebetween injection temperature and test temperature. Adequatetemperature equilibratio
30、n of the test specimen is automaticallydetermined when successive viscosity values are constantwithin 60.07 % over 1 min and successive density values areconstant within 60.00003 g/cm3over 60 s.NOTE 1The Stabinger Viscometer, manufactured by Anton PaarGmbH, fulfills the stated requirements when oper

Reagents and Materials7.1 Sample Solvent, completely miscible with the sample.7.1.1 For most samples, a volatile petroleum spirit ornaphtha is suitable. If the solvent dries up without residues
39、inan applicable time frame, the use of a separate drying solventis not required.7.1.2 For residual fuels, a prewash with an aromatic solventsuch as toluene or xylene may be necessary to remove asphalticmaterial.7.2 Drying Solvent, a volatile solvent miscible with thesample solvent (see 7.1).7.2.1 Hi

Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test
41、 Units8.1 Sampling is defined as all the steps required to obtain analiquot of the contents of any pipe, tank, or other system, andto place the sample into the laboratory test container. Thelaboratory test container and sample volume shall be ofsufficient capacity to mix the sample and obtain a homo
42、ge-neous sample for analysis.8.2 ParticlesFor samples that are likely to contain par-ticles (for example, used oils or crude oils) pass the samplethrough a 75-m screen to remove the particles. For theremoval of iron filings the use of a magnet is appropriate. Waxysamples must be heated to dissolve t
43、he wax crystals prior tofiltration and a preheated filter shall be used.8.3 Test SpecimenAportion or volume of sample obtainedfrom the laboratory sample and delivered to the measuringcells. The test specimen is obtained as follows:8.3.1 Mix the sample, if required, to homogenize. Mixing atroom tempe
44、rature in an open container can result in the loss ofvolatile material; mixing in closed, pressurized containers, or atsub-ambient temperatures is recommended.8.3.2 Draw the test specimen from a properly mixed labo-ratory sample using an appropriate syringe.Alternatively, if theproper attachments an
45、d connecting tubes are used, the testspecimen may be delivered directly to the measuring cellsusing a flow through or pressure adapter (see 6.3) or autosam-pler (see 6.4) from the mixing container. For waxy or othersamples with a high pour point, before drawing the testspecimen, heat the laboratory
46、sample to the desired testtemperature, which has to be high enough to dissolve the waxcrystals.9. Calibration and Verification9.1 Use only a calibrated apparatus as described in 6.1. Thecalibration shall be checked periodically using certified refer-ence standards as described in 9.2 and 9.3. The re
47、commendedinterval for viscosity and density calibration is once a month,for temperature control once a year. For the calibrationprocedure follow the instructions of the manufacturer of theapparatus.9.2 Certified Viscosity and Density Reference StandardsThese are for use as confirmatory checks on the
48、 procedure inthe laboratory. Certified viscosity and density reference stan-dards shall be certified by a laboratory, which has shown tomeet the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 or a correspondingnational standard by independent assessment. Viscosity stan-dards shall be traceable to master viscometer p
