Experiment No. 1@: Effect of temperature on viscosity
Practical Significance
Redwood viscometer -1 is equipment used by the
manufacturing companies to
determine the property like viscosity of their products. Oils are used in many
industries as lubricant for different machines working on different temperature levels.
Determination of effect of temperature on viscosity of various lubricating oil will help
in selecting the relevant lubricating oil for different machines on different
temperatures. Since the viscosity of lubricating oils changes with temperature the
selection of lubricating oil for any machine become critical. Determination of effect of
temperature on viscosity of various lubricating oil will helps us in use of relevant _
engineering materials in industry.

, which causes it to offer frictional
resistance to motion.
Viscosity is the property of a fluid that determines its resistance to flow. It is an
indicator of flow ability of a lubricating oil; the lowest the viscosity, greater the
flow ability.
Viscosity generally decreases with increase in temperature, The rate of change of
viscosity over the range of temperature is called as the viscosity Index. A
relatively small change/no change in viscosity with temperature is indicated by
high viscosity index whereas low viscosity index shows relatively large change in
viscosity with temperature.

4) Viscosity is resistance to flow. Viscosity and flow rate are inversely
Proportional to each other . This resistance in turn is directly proportional to
the viscosity.

X Procedure
1. Clean the viscometer with the help of water.
2. Level the viscometer with the help of leveling screws.
3. Fill the outer cup with water for determining the viscosity at different
temperatures.
4, Place the ball valve on the jet to close it and pour the test oil into the cup up to the
tip of indicator.
5. Place a clean dry Kohlrausch flask immediately below and in the line with
discharging jet.
6. Insert a clean thermometer and a stirrer in the cup and cover it
ith a lid.

7. Heat the water bath slowly with constant stirring. When the oil in the cup attains a
desired temperature, stop the heating,
8. Lift the ball valve and start the stop watch. Oil from the jet flows into the flask.
9. Stop the stop watch when lower meniscus of the oil res
neck of receiving flask.
10. Perform the experiment at three elevated temperatures to get readings of
flow time.
XI Precautions

1. An oil should be filtered thoroughly using muslin cloth to remove solid particles
that may clog the jet.
2. The receiving flask should be placed in such a manner that the oil stream from Jet
strikes the neck of receiving flask and do not cause any foaming
3. After each reading the oil should be completely drained out from receiving flask
