Note that this standard has been updated and you will need to meet the requirements set out in ASTM D445-21e2 Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids (and Calculation of Dynamic Viscosity).
You may be required to comply with this standard if you intend to undertake a recycling operation.
You may be entitled to a product stewardship (oil) benefit for the sale or consumption of recycled oil that you have recycled in Australia. To be eligible you must be registered for entitlement to product stewardship (oil) benefits.
This standard specifies a procedure for the determination of the kinematic viscosity, 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.
