Measurements with a line-contact disc machine are used to deduce the rheological properties of a kerosene oil used in aluminium cold-rolling at the temperatures and pressures found in the bite. The deduced variation of viscosity with pressure at the higher pressures blends reasonably with previous measurements at lower pressures. The relationship between shear stress and strain rate may be described using the Eyring viscous model of fluid properties.
