Viscosity – Viscosity Index
ISL Houillon Viscometer Nametre Viscoliner 1710
informs about delivers individualresults for allows a diagnose statement for
oil condition Kinematic viscosity at 40°C and at 100°C Basic property of a lubricant. Informs about thickness of an oil film, lubricity and hydraulic properties. Successful lubrication in most cases is a result of viscosity. Viscosity changes due to oxidation or contamination.
  Viscosity Index (VI) How higher the viscosity index how thinner the oil at low temperature and how thicker the oil at high temperatures. Is the lubricant still a multigrade oil? Informs about the stability of multigrade VI Improvers.
