The viscosity of oil:
- Is the temperature at which oil will burn
- Determines the ability of the oil to support a load
- Will prevent corrosion of bearings
- Indicates the liquid’s inability to flow
A) 2, 4 B) 1, 3 C) 3, 4 D) 2, 3, 4 E) 1, 2, 4
A) 2, 4
Viscosity index provides a measure of oil’s tendency to:
A) Resist change due to oxidation
B) Change viscosity under load
C) Change viscosity due to temperature change
D) Maintain viscosity when contaminated with water
E) Resist changes due to contamination
C) Change viscosity due to temperature change
A disadvantage of a high flash point oil is:
A) Low viscosity B) Increased safety of operation C) Wider range of operating temperatures D) Depressed pour point E) Increased carbon residue
E) Increased carbon residue
The instrument which measures the viscosity of oil at a certain temperature as it flows through a small diameter tube is called a/an:
A) Orifice plate B) Saybolt viscosimeter C) Oil meter D) A pyrometer E) A thermocouple
