Unlike absolute viscosity, kinematic viscosity is greatly de-
‘on both temperature and pressure, since these vari-
Bbles affect the density of the ud. Refecting to Eq. 14.19,
even if absolute viscosity is independeat of temperature or
pressure, the change in density will change the kinematic

‘This notation indicates that both the reference fluid (water) and the oil are at 60°F.
‘Specific gravities of crude oils vary widely depending on where they are found.
‘Those from the western U.S. range from approximately 0.87 to 0.92. Eastern US.
oil fields produce oil at about 0.82 specific gravity. Mexican crude oil is among the
highest at 0.97. A few heavy asphaltic oils have sg > 1.0. (See Reference 6.)
‘Most oils are distilled before use to enhance their quality of burning. The re-
sulting gasolines, kerosenes, and fuel oils have specific gravities ranging from about
067 0 0.98.
