1.0 What is viscosity?
• Viscosity and a measure and resistance to the flow of one
fluid a one determined temperature.
• To o use of bombs pneumatic a unit more common and o Poise. By convenience, a viscosity and express em centiPoise
(cP), what and equal a 10–2 Poise.
Viscosities table of some fluids. (in Centipoise).
Example of Brookfield Viscosometer.
EXAMPLE OF ZAHN CUP AND Ford Cup
2.0 Adjustment and bomba in relation to Fluid Viscosity
Pump flow rates should be adjusted according to fluid viscosity. The lower the viscosity, the greater the pump flow.
Use the table below to adjust the flow based on the viscosity of the pumped fluid.
Example: Pumping a fluid of 6000 cp the flow reduces by up to 60%
Note: All flow curves are based on water.
