Endpoint:

viscosity

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

2012

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Qualifier:

no guideline available

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The kinematic viscosity at 25 ⁰C was determined using a capillary viscometer with Cannon-Ubbelodhe viscometer tube #50. Temperature control was provided by a thermostatically-controlled water bath. The dynamic viscosity was then calculated using density data at 25 ⁰C which were obtained using a Mettler DE40 oscillating tube densitometer.

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

capillary viscometer (static)

Standard covering the apparatus used:

The accuracy of the viscometer was validated by determining the dynamic viscosity of standard reference oil N2 from Cannon instruments at 25 ⁰C. Using the density data supplied with the standard, the dynamic viscosity was determined to be 2.638 mPa-s, compared to the reference value of 2.628 mPa-s.
