Kinematic viscosity is an important physical property of unused heat transfer fluids. This paper uses Stabinger viscometer and glass capillary viscometer method for testing unused heat transfer fluids’ kinematic viscosity and compares the results, in order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results. We tested the kinematic viscosity of the 85 samples. The analysis shows that Stabinger viscometer method can be applied to determine the kinematic viscosity of unused heat transfer fluids.
