Interrelationship among viscosity, temperature and age of lubricant

Abstract: PurposeTo provide a general equation for finding out viscosity of lubricating oils at different temperatures and ages.Design/methodology/approachBased on previous works and a case study on field, a general equation was formulated which relates viscosity‐temperature‐age of lubricant.FindingsThe equation is very simple and a good consistency was found.Practical implicationsThis equation will help the designers/manufacturers to recommend the correct grade of lubricating oil.Originality/valueThis type of relations… Show more

“…Viscosity (Figure 4) of the thermally degraded oil in this study increased linearly with ageing hours, due to the build‐up of insolubles and evaporative loss of more volatile components. This linear variation of viscosity with ageing agrees with the results of Singh et al (2006). However, a decrease in the viscosity of a lubricant with respect to degradation is due to loss of shear stability of the polymeric components, like polymers used as VI improvers.…”

“…Kinematic viscosity ν (Figure 10) of the thermally degraded oil in this study varied linearly with ageing time, due to the buildup of insolubles and evaporative loss of more volatile components observed by Kaleli and Yavslioli [24]. This variation pattern of viscosity with ageing agrees with the results of Singh et al [25]. These higher molecular weight insoluble components increase the oil viscosity in the course of oil degradation.…”

“…Generally, after the cleaning agent is selected, the viscosity of the cleaning agent can be adjusted by changing the temperature according to the viscosity-temperature characteristic curve of the cleaning agent. For example, the cleaning agent used in the washing equipment of a certain enterprise is an isoparaffinic organic cleaning agent-Isopar L. According to the liquid viscosity-temperature characteristic equation: Vogel equation 2: [12] 𝜗 𝜗 𝑒 ⁄…”
