This is a unit, and units as far as I know are not capitalised (except for a proper name such as Saybolt within).

Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE. In addition, WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. Tony (talk) 08:22, 1 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

please provide a short list of some representative oils and their sus values...

If it helps anyone working on that, I found this chart linked in a related discussion.
Independent of that, it'd be nice to know a little more about these "calibrated tubes" - at least the dimensions (the article mentions that the two diameters are related, but not what either of them are. Also, is the SUS/SFS value the point where the first of the oil crosses the finish line, the point when the last sticky drop drips out, or the point when 60 cm3 has made it through the tube out of an unspecified amount being poured in? Viscous minds want to know. 173.239.222.136 (talk) 02:55, 15 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
