Page 19: Calculate Scale Factor
CALCULATE SCALE FACTOR A Scale Factor is a number used to adjust meter accuracy. The Scale Factor is set at the factory using motor oil with a viscosity of 10W. The primary use for Scale Factor recalibration is to batch fluids with different viscosities. If the fluid has a lower viscosity, more fluid can slip past the meter gears without being detected. - Page 20 Chart of approximate Scale Factors for fluids of different viscosities Scale Factor Viscosity in Centistokes @ 65 Samples of Fluids, Viscosities and Scale Factors Fluid Viscosity Scale Factor Water/Anti-Freeze 1.044 Anti-Freeze 1.007 Brake Fluid 1.004 1.002 1.000 80W-90 0.999 140W 1800 0.993...
