Low Temperature CMRV Viscosity Table

The low temperature viscosity standards are designed for use with the CANNON Mini-Rotary Viscometer (CMRV) for:

  • ASTM D3829  Predicting the Borderline Pumping Temperature of Engine Oil
  • ASTM D4684  Determination of Yield Stress and Apparent Viscosity of Engine Oils at Low Temperature
  • ASTM D6821  Low Temperature Viscosity of Drive Line Lubricants in a Constant Shear Stress Viscometer
  • ASTM D6896  Determination of Yield Stress and Apparent Viscosity of Used Engine Oils at Low Temperature
  • SAE J300 

Lot specific viscosity data is provided with each standard.
