🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of pour point in marine lubrication engineering • How oil movement by gravity differs from pumping or forced flow • Standard test methods for determining properties of lubricating oils (like viscosity vs pour point)

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to lubricating oil as temperature drops — does it stop flowing all at once, or does it gradually become thicker until it will no longer move on its own? • Which choice describes the simplest, natural way a liquid would be expected to move in a basic lab test without extra pressure or pumping? • Two of the options mention specific flow rates or orifices. Are those more typical of a viscosity measurement or of a pour point test?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes flow under natural conditions, not forced flow or measured flow rate. • Separate in your mind the definition of viscosity (how thick or thin a liquid is and how fast it flows) from pour point (the temperature where something happens to the oil’s ability to move). • Verify which answer choice best fits a simple definition you might see in a glossary: “lowest temperature at which oil will still ____ on its own.”
