The time taken measured in seconds and termed the Redwood seconds, is taken
as an index of the viscosity of the oil. The sets of orifices for oils with viscosities
less than 2000 Redwood seconds, and those more viscous ones with values less

A similar principle is used in Redwood viscometer, where 50 cm3 of lubricating
oil is passed through a capillary tube of specific dimensions and the time is
measured in terms of Redwood seconds. In the Engler viscometer, the viscosity is

A rough conversion of Redwood seconds to centistokes is given by the following
formula: Centistokes (cSt) I 0.260 X T — (0.0188/T), where t is the time in
Redwood seconds Degree Engler is still occasionally used in the United
Kingdom.

A rough conversion of Redwood seconds to centistokes is given by the formula:
Centistokes (cSt) I 0.260 X t — (0.0188/t) (9.9) where t is the time in Redwood
seconds Degree Engler is still occasionally used in the United Kingdom.

For example, if time of flow of an oil through Red wood viscometer at 20'C is 60
seconds, it indicates that its viscosity is 60 Redwood seconds at 20'C. In India,
Redwood viscometer is generally used for determining the viscosity of a
lubricating ...

Saybolt seconds, Redwood seconds, and the like are not true units of viscosity,
but a measure of viscosity. To use them with any of the equations of physics, they
must be converted beforehand. Take, for instance, Stokes' law for the viscous ...
The results are expressed in terms of time taken by oil to flow through particular
instrument. For example, if time of flow of an oil through Redwood viscometer at
20°C is 100 seconds, then its viscosity is 100 “Redwood seconds” at 20° C. A
