First room temperature and specific gravity of oil is noted Time taken for 5¢ ml of oil is calculated and noted at room temperature 2 3. Then the temperature of the oil is increased in step of 5 “c 4. Time taken for 50 ml of oil collection is noted for corresponding temperature 5 . Graphs between Kinematic viscosity and dynamic viscosity vs. temperature is, drawnObservations “Time taken for | Kinematic | Dynar ‘Temperature . 50 ml of oil | viscosity | viscosity of oil ‘c : to be filled | centistroke | centipoise tsec Model calculation For reading —- Temperature of oil = = ‘c ‘Time taken for 50 ml of oil to be filled = ‘Kinematic viscosity = At - B/t centistroke Dynamic viscosi inematic viscosity x Density of oil centipoise Graphs ‘Temperature vs Kinematic viscosity ‘Temperature vs Dynamic viscosityResult Thus the viscosity of the given oil is determined & temperature vs viscosity graph was drawnDETERMINATION OF FLASH POINT AND FIRE POINT Ex. No: Date:_ Aim To determing the flash point and fire point of the Apparatus required Cleve land open web tester,, Thermometers, Auto transformer & Burner Procedure 1. At first oil sample is filled in the apparatus .. Thermometer is placed in the position. Using the auto transformer, the temperature of the oil sample is raised |. Using the blazes of the flame, it is swayed to and fro above the fuel ignition ‘The temperature at which the fuel gets flashing, Note it as the flash point ‘The temperature at which the fuel gets fired is the fire point and it is noted Observations Sample oil | Flash point | Fire point | | Result ‘Thus the flash point and fire point of the given SAE respectively
