Features & Benefits

Performance Profile

The kinematic viscosity is the resistance to flow of a fluid under gravity. It is determined by measuring the time for a volume of liquid to flow under gravity through a calibrated glass capillary viscometer.

The temperature dependant kinematic viscosity PARAFOL is shown in Figure 3

Figure 3: PARAFOL viscosity vs temperature

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given unit volume. The formal definition of density is mass per unit volume. Usually the density is expressed in grams per mL. In general, density can be changed by changing either the pressure or the temperature. Increasing the pressure will always increase the density of a material. Increasing the temperature generally decreases the density, but there are notable exceptions to this generalization.

The temperature dependant density of PARAFOL is shown in Figure 4.
