Heavy Fuel Oil no. 6 - Bunker C

[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

I would recommend RF'ing this post and reposting in a more germane forum; not sure what that might be, possibly: forum481, or forum469, but this current forum wouldn't have been my first choice for this type of question.
