![]() ![]() You may recall that the well-known Stribeck curve doesnt have a temperature variable. Instead, a machines viscosity requirement is based on such things as component design (e.g., bearing), loads and speeds. It also influences other important factors such as those in the table below.Ĭonversely, machines dont care about temperature as it relates to viscosity (loosely speaking). ![]() ![]() The higher the intermolecular friction (longer molecular chains), the higher the viscosity. Viscosity is determined by creating friction between the molecules from fluid movement. It is a crude measure of a lubricants molecular constitution from the standpoint of hydrocarbon chain size. ![]()
