Suspension Fluid Calculators
The calculators below provide the basics for calculating the viscosity of a blended fluid.
Specific Gravity Calculator
The SG is often not provided for fluids but can be calculated from the weight and volume of a fluid.
The SG for suspension fluids is normally between 0.8 and 0.9.
Viscosity Calculator
This calculator provides the viscosity of a blended fluid based on the percentages of the source fluids.
Enter the viscosity and specific gravity your fluids plus the % for the first fluid then press calculate.
Fluid 1
Fluid 2
Viscosity (cSt@40c):
Specific Gravity:
Fluid Percentages
Blend Viscosity
These calculations use the Refutas Equation
When mixing hydraulic fluids ensure both grades are of the same formulation or brand
