Step by Step Procedure How to use this tool

Step 1: Access the Tool

To visit the website: Open your browser and navigate to the website where the "Engine Oil Flow Analyzer" tool is available.

Go to Tool: Search for the page or post where the Engine Oil Flow Analyzer is located. Look for it in the menu, or as a link from another page.

Step 2: Know the Input Fields

Oil Viscosity (cP) — Enter the viscosity of the engine oil here. We talk about how thick or thin the oil is and that is a measure of viscosity and is normally given in centipoise (cP).

Temperature (°C): Input the temperature of the oil in Celsius (°C). Note that viscosity may depend on the temperature.

Pressure Drop Pa: The pressure drop across the oil system. This indicates the pressure differential across the oil as it passes through the system.

Step 3: Input Your Data

Field Inputs: Click on each input field and enter the specified values:

• Oil Viscosity: Positive number (e.g. 50 for 50 cP)
• Temperature: a positive number (e.g. 80 for 80 °C)
• For Pressure Drop, input a positive number (20000 => 20,000 Pa)

Check your inputs: Make sure all values are entered properly and are positive. The tool does not work with negative or zero values.

Step 4: Convert your Flow Meter reading to a Flow Rate

Calculate Flow Rate: Click on the "Calculate Flow Rate" button after entering all the values.

Wait The calculator processes this data and computes the flow rate, given the inputs you entered.

Step 5: View the Results

Press the Button: Once you press the button, the calculation will be done and the answer shown below the button.

Get the Answer: The output will be in liters per minute (L/min). It tells you how much oil is moving through the system at those conditions.

Step 6: Extra Info

Edit values: To check how varying values impact the flow rate, just edit the figures in the input boxes.

Recalculate: Press the "Calculate Flow Rate" button once more for new results based on your new inputs.

Step 7: Extra Info

Use Cases: Mechanics, engineers, or anyone who wants to understand how different factors impact engine oil flow.

Seek professional advice: If you have specific questions related to your results or their interpretation, you may consider consulting a professional at a laboratory or referring to existing engine oil specifications.

Tips for Users

Double Check Your Inputs: Make sure to Double check your inputs to ensure accuracy.

• Correct Unit Usage: Avoid calculation errors by ensuring all inputs (viscosity: cP, temperature: °C, pressure: Pa) are specified as the correct units.
• Research: Research different types of fluid and find out how their viscosity affects the flow rate.

About the Engine Oil Flow Analyzer​

Engine Oil Flow Analyzer this online tool can calculate the engine oil flow rate based on the oil viscosity, temperature, and ∆P. It aids users in the understanding of how such factors influences oil to flow across an engine.

How do I use the tool?

All you need to do is input the values into the appropriate fields for oil viscosity( cP), temperature( °C) and pressure drop( Pa). Once done, click on the Calculate Flow Rate button and you will see the flow rate in liters per minute (L/min).

What units must the inputs all be given in?

• Oil Viscosity: Type in the viscosity in centipoise (cP).
• Temperature: The temperature in degrees Celsius (°C)
• Pressure Drop: Enter the pressure drop (Pa)

What to do when I put wrong values?

This tool provides an alert message to users to enter positive entered numbers if users enter negative or zero values. You are limited by your knowledge, as of October 2023.

What can the flow rate result tell me?

The result from flow rate is a measure of how much engine oil is flowing through the system at the determined conditions. It indicates the oil flow through the engine in liters per minute (L/min).

Is this tool usable for any engine oil?

And it is compatible with all kinds of engine oils. Individually, the accuracy of the results can rely on the exact properties of the oil analyzed. For the definitive viscosity vs. temperature table, always refer to the oil manufacturer.

“Well, what I can enter, how do I know if there’s a limit or not?

You are welcome to enter any realistic, typical motor oil values here there is no hard limit. Results may not be meaningful for very high or low values.
