Kinematic Viscosity Kinematic viscosity is a key property for fuels and lubricants. Kinematic viscosity is determined by measuring the time it takes for a sample to flow through a glass capillary viscometer at a known constant temperature. Kinematic viscosity is extremely temperature sensitive and as such an accurate stable temperature controlled bath is essential. Most fuel specifications include viscosity at a specified temperature. Viscosity in fuels determines how well the fuel will pump to the engines. For lubricants, kinematic viscosity determines the ability of a lubricating oil to create...
