High Pressure and Temperature Effects on the Viscosity, Density, and Bulk Modulus of Four Liquid Lubricants.

Abstract

Absolute viscosity, kinematic viscosity, density, and secant bulk modulus values determined for four lubricating fluids are presented. The determinations were made with a falling weight viscometer at temperatures of 38 C (100 F) 99 C (210 F), and 149 C (300 F) and at pressures ranging from atmospheric to 1103 MPa (160,000 psi). Plots of absolute viscosity, density, and bulk modulus are given, and all results are discussed. The equipment used to make the determinations is described and the procedures followed to collect data and reduce to fluid property values are outlined. The fluids were designated MLO 75-122, MLO 76-121, MLO 77-39, and MLO 77-46. (Author)
