Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It determines how easily a fluid can move and deform under applied stress.

Common units of measurements for viscosity include Pascal-seconds (Pa·s), poise (P), and centipoise (cP).

  • Viscosity is crucial in understanding fluid dynamics and designing efficient systems
  • It is essential in various industries such as oil and gas, food processing, and pharmaceuticals
  • Viscosity affects the performance of lubricants, paints, and coatings
  (viscosity base)  m^2/s

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, influenced by its internal friction and cohesion.

  centistokes  cst

1 cst = 1e-06 m^2/s; The unit "cst" is a measure of viscosity, specifically centistokes, representing the rate of flow of a fluid.

  stk  stk

1 stk = 0.0001 m^2/s; "stk" is a unit of measurement of viscosity. It is commonly used to quantify viscosity in various substances.
