3、meters have been successfully used for measuringthe viscosity of engine oils at the high shear rates and high temperatures that occur in engines. Thistest method covers the use of a single apparatus2at a single temperature and single shear rate toachieve greater uniformity and improved precision.1.

4、Scope*1.1 This test method covers the laboratory determination ofhigh-temperature high-shear (HTHS) viscosity of engine oils ata temperature of 150C using a multicell capillary viscometercontaining pressure, temperature, and timing instrumentation.The shear rate for this test method corresponds to a

5、n apparentshear rate at the wall of 1.4 million reciprocal seconds(1.4 3 106s1).3This shear rate has been found to decrease thediscrepancy between this test method and other high-temperature high-shear test methods3used for engine oilspecifications. Viscosities are determined directly from calibra-t

6、ions that have been established with Newtonian oils withviscosities from 2 to 5 mPas at 150C.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
