Viscosity Standards are used for reference.
VISCOSITY OF OIL SERIES
Students can use Sodium Polyacrylate to make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. G (Gardner) Series Viscosity Oils are viscosity standards used for the calibration Gardco Viscosity Cups. All fluids have an internal friction between molecules, which determines how well fluid flows. Students can analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. Viscosity is perceived as thickness or resistance to pouring, but there is more to viscosity than this. The viscosity of an engine oil is significant for three. This product will support your students' understanding of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)*, as shown in the table below. High viscosity lubricants are more like molasses, they are thick and have high resistance to flow. Hear That? Exploring the Science of Sound.If you bought SAE 30 oil, for example, it had a kinematic viscosity of 30 at a temperature of 100° C (212° F). Probably the most important property of oil lubricant is the absolute viscosity, which is a measure of the force required to move one layer of the oil film.
They had only one viscosity rating that was based on their kinematic viscosity at 100° C (212° F). It is the single most critical physical property of the oil as it affects both the wear.
