High temperature viscosity measurement system and viscosity of a common dielectric liquid

TL;DR

This paper presents a new high-temperature viscosity measurement system for dielectric oils, capable of operating up to 400°C and 5000psi within a controlled autoclave environment.

Contribution

The development of a specialized device that integrates with an autoclave to measure dielectric oil viscosity at high temperatures and pressures is the paper's main novelty.

Findings

Device successfully measures viscosities up to 400°C and 5000psi.

System allows precise control of temperature and pressure during measurements.

Enables better understanding of dielectric oil behavior under extreme conditions.

Abstract

A device to measure viscosity of dielectric oils was developed. The device is an inset to an autoclave system where the temperature and the pressure could be controlled. The device is capable of measuring viscosities up to 400C and 5000psi, which are the limits of our autoclave at the moment.
