Viscosity Calculator: Optimize Your Equipment's Performance with Precision

Viscosity measures a liquid's resistance to flow. In simple terms, it determines how "thick" or "thin" an oil is. This parameter directly influences:

• The protection of internal parts: Helps minimize wear.
• The efficiency of the equipment: Ensures that the engine or machine operates without additional effort.
• The durability of the oil: Ensures that the lubricant's properties are maintained under different conditions.

If the viscosity is too high, the oil may not flow properly in cold climates. On the other hand, if it is too low, it may not provide sufficient protection under high temperature or load conditions.

The viscosity calculator is a specialized tool that allows you to determine the mixing ratio of two oils of the same application but different viscosities to obtain an oil of the same application but a different viscosity that falls within the range of values given by the first two.

Widman International SRL, experts in the field, offers a free viscosity calculator that uses scientific equations to accurately predict these proportions.

• Technical precision: Allows you to adjust the lubricant selection to the exact needs of your machinery.
• Cost savings: Reduces the risk of equipment failures due to the use of incorrect oils.
• Performance optimization: Ensures that the oil performs adequately under all operating conditions.
• Simplicity: Transforms a complex calculation into a quick and accessible task.

The process is simple:

• Enter the data of the base oils: Viscosity at 40°C.
• Set the percentage ratio of oil 1.
• Get instant results on the resulting viscosity of the mixture of both oils.

Suppose you have an ISO 68 hydraulic oil and an ISO 32 hydraulic oil (Theoretically, they can be combined since both are used in hydraulic systems and have the same viscosity index). But your machine requires an ISO 46 hydraulic oil, so you need to determine how much of each part you should add to the mixture. Using the described method, you can find this ideal proportion for that application.

Although we are not the creators of this calculator, our company understands its value and recommends it as an essential tool for our clients. Additionally, we are here to advise you in selecting the most suitable industrial oils for your equipment, ensuring the prolongation of their lifespan and the optimal performance of your processes.
