Question 167General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhich characteristic or condition will have the greatest effect on increasing a hydraulic oil's viscosity?
AVacuum
BPressure
CCloud point
DPour point
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Pressure. Increasing the pressure on a hydraulic oil will cause its viscosity to increase. This is because pressure has a direct effect on the molecular structure of the oil, causing the molecules to pack more closely together, which increases the oil's resistance to flow. In contrast, the other options - vacuum (A), cloud point (C), and pour point (D) - do not have a direct effect on increasing the viscosity of a hydraulic oil.
