What is the definition of SAE?
1 Answers
SAE is the abbreviation for the Society of Automotive Engineers in the United States, referring to the viscosity grade classification of gear oil. The following is relevant information about SAE: 1. Classification: Gear oil can be divided into single-grade viscosity type and multi-grade viscosity all-weather type. The single-grade viscosity type can be further divided into high-temperature type and low-temperature type. 2. Meaning: The high-temperature type is labeled similarly to SAE90, SAE140, etc. The number following SAE indicates the viscosity of the oil at 100°C, with a larger number indicating higher oil viscosity. The low-temperature type is labeled similarly to SAE75W, where W stands for winter (low-temperature type), 75 represents viscosity, and a smaller number indicates better low-temperature performance.
