"This test method specifies a procedure for the determination of the kinematic viscosity, v, of liquid petroleum products, both transparent and opaque, by measuring the time for a volume of liquid to flow under gravity through a calibrated glass capillary viscometer. The dynamic viscosity, n, can be obtained by multiplying the kinematic viscosity, v, by the density, p, of the liquid." -- scope

Video recording of the manual version of the ASTM D445, Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids (and Calculation of Dynamic Viscosity), effectively automated this method, resolved ergonomic concerns, reduced chemical exposure of an operator, drastically reduced probability of errors of the operator, significantly improved productivity, and simplified the analyst training process and work turnover. The accuracy of results is acceptable from the standpoint of the ASTM D445 method.
