viscosity
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Ubbelohde
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The determination of the kinematic viscosity was carried out by the capillary method with a viscosimeter according to Ubbelohde.

For a specific liquid volume of the test item the flow time is measured through a capillary under the influence of gravity. The measurement is carried out at a specific temperature. The results are given in mm2/s.

The method is applicable to liquids with a kinematic viscosity between approx. 0.5 and 10^5 mm2/s

Additional information

A kinematic viscosity of 1.2944 at 20°C was determined for the substance using the capillary method (Ubbelonhde). The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.


 


The key result is supported by a predicted kinematic viscosity value of 1.6 mm2/s at 20°C which was determined for the substance using a validated QSAR estimation method.


 


In available secondary sources to which reliability could not be assigned, viscosity values of 1.4 mPa·s (dynamic) at 20°C and 1.2 mPa·s (dynamic) at 25°C were reported for the substance.
