ISO 2909:2002

Petroleum products - Calculation of viscosity index from kinematic viscosity

ISO 2909:2002 describes two procedures for calculating the viscosity index (VI) of petroleum products and related materials, such as lubricating oils, from their kinematic viscosities at 40 °C and 100 °C.

Procedure A is applicable to petroleum products of viscosity index up to and including 100.

Procedure B is applicable to petroleum products of viscosity index 100 or greater.

ISO 2909:2002 does not apply to petroleum products with kinematic viscosities less than 2,0 mm²/s at 100 °C. It applies to petroleum products with kinematic viscosities between 2 mm²/s and 70 mm²/s at 100 °C. Equations are provided for calculating the viscosity index of petroleum products having kinematic viscosities above 70 mm²/s at 100 °C.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
