Title
Standard Test Method for Calculation of Viscosity-Gravity Constant (VGC) of Petroleum Oils
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 15, 1991
Scope:
This test method covers the calculation of the viscositygravity constant (VGC) of petroleum oils2 having viscosities in excess of 4 cSt. = 4 X 10−6 m−2/s at 40°C (104°F).
Annex A1 describes a method for calculating the VGC from Saybolt (SUS) viscosity and relative density.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
