What is the relationship between crude oil viscosity and motor power?

What is the relationship between crude oil viscosity and motor power? The shaft power can be calculated. What is the typical viscosity of crude oil when its temperature is between 30 and 80 degrees?

As for exactly how much it can be increased, we have a conversion table for clean water; once the coefficient is obtained from that table, it can be multiplied by the power to get the result.
The viscosity of crude oil is not calculated; it is measured using instruments. Different viscosities and different types of oils require different pump designs, and accordingly, the energy consumption of these pumps also varies. Thus, there is a relationship between these two factors, but the specific relationship can only be determined once the type of pump is known
The crude oil temperature ranges from 30 to 80 degrees; its viscosity varies significantly depending on the type of crude oil. Higher viscosity leads to increased pipeline resistance, higher maintenance requirements, and greater motor power needs!
What is the viscosity of crude oil generally? Could you provide the maximum value?
After consulting the manufacturer, I found that the viscosity of crude oil varies significantly depending on its source; the maximum value is generally around 500 mm2/s in terms of dynamic viscosity. Now that I know this, I’d like to share it!
May I ask the moderator, could you share which table it is?:$
