Does crude oil have a low viscosity fraction?

yes it does


What does vescosity mean?

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


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.


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.


When would you buy low viscosity oil for your car?

if it is really cold where you live, and the viscosity of the oil would be the optimal for your car at that cold outdoor temperature. i.e. as oil cools it is less viscus. Therefore, in colder climates normal oil becomes too thick in the cold weather to run optimally, so if you use less viscus oil you can compensate.
