This method covers procedure for the empirical measurement of Saybolt viscosity
of petroleum products at specified temperatures between 70 and 210°F.
Two models of viscometer available, single tube and two tubes. And this is one of the various viscosity tests used to control the quality of liquid asphalts.The principle use of the test is to secure the consistency desired in the liquid asphalt under the temperature specified .The distinction among the various grades of liquid asphalts can be easily performed utilizing the results of saybolt viscosity test .
Standard : ASTM E 102
