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. |
