What does vescosity mean?

Viscosity (not vescosity) is the thickness of a liquid. For example, crude oil has a much higher viscosity than water.


Can you Give you facts about viscosity?

Viscosity is the resistance for flow.Viscosity is the internal properties of fluids.Gear oil normally has larger viscosity.Kinematic viscosity is usuarally used to measure the viscosity of industrial lubricants.Dynamical viscosity (CCS) is usually used to measure low temperature viscosity for auto lubricants.Solvent or fuels has a low viscosity.Industrial oils folllow ISO viscosity classification.Auto lubes oils follow SAE viscosity classification.High viscosity usually means better protection for wear.Low viscosity usually means low friction resistance.


What is the difference between fluid viscosity?

Some fluids are more denser than other fluids. For example, shampoo is more denser than Ketchup or oil or water. Therefore, it has a higher viscosity! The thick/denser/sticker a fluid is the higher the concentrtation of viscosity. Here is a range of some fluids put from high viscosity to low concentration of viscosity: 1: Shampoo 2: Ketchup 3: Corn oil 4: Water Water has a really low concentration of viscosity.


What is the most viscous fraction in crude oil?

8 cp at 10 C, 10 API nigerian bonny light


What is the difference between sweet and sour crude?

Sour crude is high in sulfur. Sweet crude is low in sulfur. Petroleum is considered "sweet" if it contains less than 0.5% sulphur. Sour crude oil has >0.5% sulphur. Sweet crude oil also contains small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

What is the difference between heavy crude oil and light crude oil?

light crude oil has less specific gravity,less viscosity while heavy crude oil has more specific gravity & viscosity.


What are the properties of Brent Crude oil?

The properties of Brent Crude oil are the same properties of any crude oil, density, viscosity, and solubility. Although Brent is LCO (light crude oil).


What is a fraction in crude oil?

Crude oil is a mixture of various chemicals. If you distill crude oil you can separate it into components, which are also known as fractions.


Did crude oil means petroleum?

Petroleum is refined from crude oil and is but one fraction only


Why does the petrol fraction have a lower viscosity than the fuel oil fraction?

The viscosity depends on the chemical composition of materials.


What does vescosity mean?

Viscosity (not vescosity) is the thickness of a liquid. For example, crude oil has a much higher viscosity than water.


Why low viscosity motor oil used in the winter and high viscosity motor oil used in the summer?

Low viscosity oil flows easier when it is cold but become thinner when it is hot.


Which fraction of crude oil is viscous?

Crude oil is about as different as cheese. Varies a lot. color is black/brown,water white,dark green,reddish etc. it depends upon the components it hold (As lighter components it hold as lighter in color and as heaver as dark it will be) density is between 700 - 1000 kg/cum and kinematic viscosity can be anywhere between 1 and 8 cSt (centi stokes)


Which fraction in the fractional distillation of crude oil has the longest chain molecule?

Because this crude oil has a short chain


Which property is used to classify crude oils as either heavy or light?

viscosity. very viscose oils are considered "heavy", oils of low viscosity are considered "light". Oils with little sulfur are considered "sweet", oils with lots of sulfur are considered "sour". The most valuable crude oil is "light sweet".


What is meant by the term viscosity when used in describing magma?

The ease with which it flows or how thin or thick it is. the more solid it is the higher the viscosity. As in Oil the thicker it is the higher the viscosity machine oil low viscosity, gearbox oil high viscosity.


What is the difference between crude oil and motor oil?

Crude oil is the oil from the well. Motor oil has been processed. The motor oil must have certain properties, such as viscosity and density, and it can not contain any contaminants, such as sulfur. Crude oil is unrefined oil, and it has a wide range of viscosities and densities, and may contain contaminants.
