HFO no 6 (bunker c) temperature vs viscosity

[msamuels]

We are designing a submarine pipeline to transfer heavy fuel oil from a off-shore mooring. Does anyone here has a reference chart on the viscosity of HFO no. 6 (bunker c)at various temperatures. We are aware of the temperature at offload and the related viscosity, however after pumping, and some amount of time/days passing the oil contained in the pipeline would fall to sea temperature. Sea temperature is around 27 deg C or 80 deg F

If your lab gives you viscosity at 50 and 100C you can use the ASTM D341 equation in the spreadsheet downloadable here:
