I assume this is temperature dependent. Can dino-oil be used as > a standard and biodiesel viscosity be estimated based on time ratios at a > particular temperature? What are we looking for as to the acceptable limits? Dino is between 1.5 and 3.5 centistokes @ 20 degC - correct me if I'm wrong, fellas - unachievable with bio due to it's chemical properties. So 4 cSt would be exceptionally good, 5-6 acceptable, 7-8 not quite good and >8 cSt would be bad. But that's just my 0.02$. > Is there some correspondence between specific gravity, which is simple to > measure, and viscosity? Not really. I've seen bio with a Sg 0.885 g/l (excellent) and have a kinematic viscosity of 10.5 cSt (horrible) but an acceptable cetane number of ~50! Have someone from the list post a link to the DIN 51606 standard, there is all you need to know what good bio should be like (I don't have the link). <snip> Cheers, Aleks Cheers, Aleks Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Please do NOT send "unsubscribe" messages to the list address.
