What is Temperature Compensated Viscosity (TCV)?

Temperature Compensated Viscosity (TCV) is a very accurate estimate of the viscosity of a fluid at a reference temperature that is different from the actual process temperature. The mathematical relationship is based on the ASTM standard D341 and is accurate for liquid hydrocarbons and most other fluids. TCV is used to relate process measurements to laboratory standard values and to mitigate the affects of process temperature fluctuations for tighter viscosity control.
