Would I be right in thinking that VG 110 oil would be equal to 100cSt ... is it a straight swap or is there any formula. I'm trying to determine the dynamic viscosity
I believe VG110 would be an unusual grade. Typically, when referencing an ISO 3448 grade, the value for the nominal kinematic viscosity (in mm2/s) is given, so the minimum kinematic viscosity is 100 mm2/s. 1 cst = 1 mm2/sPatrick Jago said:Would I be right in thinking that VG 110 oil would be equal to 100cSt ... is it a straight swap or is there any formula.

Tribology Engineering is the study of interacting surfaces in relative motion and the principles of friction, wear, and lubrication.
VG 110 Oil is a type of industrial lubricant that is designed to have a specific viscosity grade of 110. It is used in machinery and equipment to reduce friction and wear between moving parts.
100cSt Viscosity is a measurement of the viscosity, or thickness, of a fluid. It is commonly used to describe the thickness of industrial oils and lubricants, with higher numbers indicating a thicker viscosity.
VG 110 Oil and 100cSt Viscosity are related but not interchangeable terms. VG 110 Oil refers to a specific type of oil with a viscosity grade of 110, while 100cSt Viscosity is a measurement of the thickness of the oil. It is possible for a different type of oil, such as VG 100, to have a viscosity of 100cSt.
The answer to this question depends on the specific application and machinery being used. In general, a higher viscosity oil, like VG 110, may be better for heavier loads and high temperatures, while a lower viscosity oil, like 100cSt, may be better for lighter loads and lower temperatures. It is important to consult with a tribology engineer to determine the best lubricant for a particular situation.
