Viscosity Conversion
Centistokes=0.226(SSU)-195/(SSU) for 32≤SSU≤100 (2.8)
Centistokes=0.220(SSU)-135/(SSU) for SSU>100 (2.9)
Centistokes=2.24(SSF)-184/(SSF) for 25<SSF=40 (2.10)
Centistokes=2.16(SSF)-60/(SSF) for SSF>40 (2.11)
Viscosity Versus Temperature
Log Log(Z)=A-B Log(T) (2.15)
where
Log=logarithm to base 10
Z depends on the viscosity of the liquid
v=viscosity of liquid, cSt
T=Absolute temperature, °R or K
A and B are constants that depend on the specific liquid. The variable Z is
defined as follows:
Z=(v+0.7+C-D) (2.16)
C=exp[-1.14883-2.65868(v)] (2.17)
D=exp[-0.0038138-12.5645(v)] (2.18)
