Is there an oil viscosity sensor in any of the cars made today?
The 2012 Fiat500 has an oil viscosity sensor screwwd into the oil pan.
What is the term used to describe how well liquid flows?
Viscosity, i hope this helps you!
How is viscosity used in a sentence?
the viscosity of the cup was horribly bad
What does viscosity mean in cars?
How thick or thin a fluid is. Mostly related to lubricants.
What is the difference between single viscosity oil an mulit-viscosity oil?
Single viscosity is high quality oil. Mulit-viscosity oil is used for in the winter.
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.
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 engeneering unit of viscosity?
You have to distinguish dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity. Different units are used for both - the standard (SI) unit for dynamic viscosity is Pascal x second, while the unit for kinematic viscosity is meter2/second.
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.
Is Ostwalds viscometer used to measure viscosity of more viscous oil?
Yes, the Ostwalds viscometer can be used to measure the viscosity of more viscous oil.
Why viscometer is used?
Viscometer is an apparatus used to measure the viscosity of materials.
Is it better to have a high viscosity motor oil or a low viscosity motor oil?
Neither. Each has it's purpose. Use exactly what the manufacture recommends and use a multi-viscosity oil that will work in both cold and hot climates. The most common weight recommended in in new cars today is SAE 5w20.
