List of viscosities. Dynamic viscosity is a material property which describes the resistance of a fluid to shearing flows. It corresponds roughly to the intuitive notion of a fluid's 'thickness'. For instance, honey has a much higher viscosity than water.
The following table provides a list of dynamic (absolute) viscosity values for different liquids, taken at room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F) and 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
The kinematic viscosity of a liquid can be looked upon as the liquid's resistance to flow under its own gravity head. ν = η/ρ. Units for Kinematic Viscosity: ft 2 / s. mm 2 / s. m 2 / s. The following table defines the average Kinematic Viscosity for selected liquid fluids. The data shown yellow can be changes to recallate the selected variables.
Table of data giving the viscosity of many common liquid substances used in process industries.
Viscosity of Liquids and Gases. Viscosity has the SI units Pascal seconds (Pa s) which is called the Poiseuille. More commonly used is the dyne sec/cm 2 which is called Poise. One Pa s is 10 Poise. The Poise is used in the table because of its more common usage. Data from Gustafson.
Table of Viscosities. A compiled list of viscosities of various materials. Viscosity is given in centiPoise (cP), equivalent to milliPascal seconds (mPa s). To get the kinematic viscosity (in centiStokes), just divide by the specific gravity of the fluid.
