General Low Temp Standard Values

CANNON low temperature viscosity standards verify viscometer performance at sub-zero temperatures. These standards are applicable to SAE Specification J300 as well as a variety of ASTM methods: ASTM D2983, ASTM D3829, ASTM D4684, ASTM D6821, ASTM D6896, ASTM D5293.

Our general low temperature viscosity standards have a variety of applications including low temperature viscosity testing of gear oils (SAE 70W, 75W, 80W, and 85W) and automatic transmission fluids (ATF) per ASTM D2983 and SAE J300 with CANNON’s Thermoelectric Sample Conditioner System (TESC). Lot specific viscosity data is provided with each standard.
