Consequently, if a liquid has dynamic viscosity of n centiPoise, and its density is not too different from that of water, then its kinematic viscosity is around n centiStokes. For gas, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 10 to 20 microPascal-seconds, or 0.01 to 0.02 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 0.5 to 5 kg/m^3.
The measurements can be done according to ISO 2431, ASTM D1200 - 10 or DIN 53411. [15] The flexible-blade rheometer improves the accuracy of measurements for the lower-viscosity liquids utilizing the subtle changes in the flow field due to the flexibility of the moving or stationary blade (sometimes called wing or single-side-clamped cantilever).
Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's rate-dependent resistance to a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to one another. [1] For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of thickness; for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water. [2]
Centipoise, a viscosity subunit, cP, but cps or cPs also used; CERN Proton Synchrotron, a particle accelerator; Counts per second (cps), detected by a radiation monitoring instrument; Cycle per second (c.p.s.), now Hertz
However the effective viscosity can be determined from following simple formula. [4] μ = ρ (t - 25) where μ = effective viscosity in centipoise ρ = density in g/cm 3 t = quart funnel time in seconds For example, a mud of funnel time 40 seconds and density 1.1 g/cm 3 has an effective viscosity of about 16.5

A single viscosity measurement at a constant speed in a typical viscometer is a measurement of the instrument viscosity of a fluid (not the apparent viscosity). In the case of non-Newtonian fluids, measurement of apparent viscosity without knowledge of the shear rate is of limited value: the measurement cannot be compared to other measurements if the speed and geometry of the two instruments ...
The dilute gas viscosity contribution to the total viscosity of a fluid will only be important when predicting the viscosity of vapors at low pressures or the viscosity of dense fluids at high temperatures. The viscosity model for dilute gas, that is shown above, is widely used throughout the industry and applied science communities.
