Description
All fluids that fulfil the conditions of Newton’s friction law are referred to as Newtonian fluids. Their viscosity is a material constant, which is only dependent on pressure and temperature.
The viscosity index is a widely used and accepted measure of the variation in kinematic viscosity due to changes in the temperature of a petroleum product between 40 and 100°C. A higher viscosity index indicates a smaller decrease in kinematic viscosity with increasing temperature of the product.
