Higher viscosity of lubricating oil usually signifies_______________________?
Correct answer: C. Higher flash point and fire point
- A. Lower Reid vapour pressure
- B. Higher acid number
- C. Higher flash point and fire point
- D. Lower flash point and fire point
Explanation
Higher viscosity generally indicates a heavier, less volatile lubricating oil, which requires more heating to produce ignitable vapour. Therefore, its flash point and fire point are usually higher.
