Aim:- To measure the viscosity of given sample of oil using saybolt viscometer: At room temperature At higher temperature
Apparatus:- Say bolt viscometer, receiving flask 60cc electrical heater with energy regulator, thermometer, stop watch.
handless with two stirrer blade, thermometer rocket & an electric heater
A thermometer can also be inserted into the cup cover Two jets, one universal & one furol can be screwed to the cup by a handle.
A special receiving flask of glass with 60 cc mark is also provided with viscometer.

Universal orifice jet is used with lubricants & distillate materials having
Furol orifice is used with liquids having efflux time over 25 seconds. time
The furol orifice time is approximately one tenth the universal efflux Viscometer & bath should be set at the place which is free from drafts
of room- atmosphere, & room- temperature upto 1000F will not introduce errors in excess of 1.0 percent
For standardization & reference tests, the room temperature shall be kept between 680 & 850F.
PROCEDURE: Fill up the given sample in the viscometer cup above the overflow rim
The stopcock with cord must be fit tightly enough to prevent any leakage Place the receiving flask where the stream of oil from the bottom of the viscometer will just strike the neck of the flask. Snap the cork from the viscometer using the attached cord. At the same instance start the timer. graduation mark. Then empty the cup of viscometer.
Stop the timer the instant the bottom of the meniscus just reaches the

water bath & heat up the water. So that oil sample reaches required temperature.
Now follow the same procedure as for room-temperature measurement & calculate viscosity using saybolts empirical formula.
RESULT:- The viscosity for given sample at different temperature were calculated & were recorded as in table.
