Base oil low temperature property classification model

摘要

In one embodiment a method to determine at least one low temperature property of the lubricant oil is disclosed. This method comprises obtaining a base stock, generating a DSC curve of wax versus temperature using a heating curve for the base stock, correlating the heating curve of the base stock with a MRV for a formulated oil, and determining the MRV of the lubricant oil from the correlation of the base stock to the MRV of the corresponding desired base oil.
