Industrial Lubricants - Viscosities vs. ISO-VG Grade
The diagram below indicates the minimum and maximum viscosities in centistokes for equivalent ISO-VG grades at temperature 40oC.
ISO VG stands for "International Standards Organization Viscosity Grade" and is a number ranged from 2 to 1500.

ISO-VG Grades - Absolute Viscosity vs. Temperature, Reyns vs. Fahrenheit
ISO-VG Grades - Absolute Viscosity vs. Temperature, centiPoise vs. Celsius
- tC = 5/9(tF - 32)
- tF = 9/5 tC + 32
- 1 reyns (lb s/in2) = 6896.55 (Pa s)
- 1 cSt (centiStoke) = 1 centiPoise / SG
- SG = specific gravity of oil
