Endpoint:
viscosity
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2008.06.16, 2008.06.23
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
other: DIN 51562
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The method used is adapted from the DIN method 51562 (1999-01) "Ubbelode". The measurement was carried out measuring the time the test material needs to fill the defined distance in the capillary of the UBBELODE viscosimeter.
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
Instead: DIN EN ISO 9001: 2000 management system certification (incl. certificate), TUEV NORD CERT GmbH, Germany
Type of method:
capillary viscometer (static)
Temp.:
20°C
Parameter:
kinematic viscosity (in mm²/s)
Value:
ca. 7.875

Three measurements for each lot were performed at 20°C.
