Viscosity Comparison
Materials needed
- Viscosity stick
- Used oil placed in a beaker
- unused oil placed in a beaker
- test tubes
Procedures
First we take a new oil and a used oil and we allowed it to stand at least 1 hour.
2nd. We placed the same amount of used and new oil in a separate test tube
3RD. Placed the viscosity stick at a plat level surface.
We add 5ml of the new oil to the reservoir
We add 5ml of the used oil to the other reservoir
Lastly we tilt the Viscosity meter so that it will rest at angled base and allows the oil to run down channels
When the new oil reaches the middle of viscosity scale,We placed the viscosity stick horizontally .
We examine the point reach by the two different oils and base on this experiment it showed that the used oil was having a high viscosity compared to the new oil.
