UNE-EN 16896:2017

This document specifies a procedure for the determination of kinematic viscosity (½) by calculation from dynamic viscosity (·) and density (Á) of middle distillate fuels, fatty acid methyl ester fuels (FAME) and mixtures of these using the Stabinger Viscometer.

The result obtained using the procedure described in this standard depends on the behaviour of the sample. The standard should be used predominantly on liquids whose shear stress and shear rate are proportional (Newtonian flow behaviour). However, if the viscosity changes significantly with the shear rate, comparison with other measuring methods is only permissible at similar shear rates.

WARNING The use of this standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate health, safety and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
