How do you measure the viscosity of a liquid?

you can measure it by dropping a lead ball into the liquid while timing it with a stop watch if it is runny then it is more viscous and when it is thick and not runny it is less viscous.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of constant speed - capillary viscometer in polymer rheology?

Polymers tend to be quite viscous so measurements using a capillary viscometer can be quite slow. The second issue is both an advantage and disadvantage: many polymers have viscosity which vary with shear forces, in other words the viscosity changes with flow speed. A single speed is not sufficient to determine the viscosity behavior of the polymer. On the other hand, you can control the speed so with multiple measurements you can build up the viscosity profile quite nicely.


What does lube oil viscosity refer to?

The viscosity of a liquid is a measure of of "thick" the liquid is. E.g. Honey is very viscous, while water is not. In terms of motor oil, more viscous oil will thin out less at very high temperatures. Viscosity is represented by the number pair associated with the oil, such as 10/40, where 10 is the low temperature viscosity and 40 is the high temperature viscosity. (scale of 0-60, with 60 being the most viscous)


What is the definition of viscosity?

Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow. Fluids becomes less viscous as the liquid's temperature increases, becoming more viscous as the fluid gets cooler. A viscous fluid is sticky, thick and syrupy to a greater or lesser extent. Examples Treacle is quite viscous, but water is not. Hot engine oil is less viscous ('thinner') and runs more quickly and smoothly than cold engine oil.

What is a Brookfield Viscometer used for?

A Brookfield viscometer is used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. Viscosity refers to a fluid's tendency to resist deformation when pressure is applied to it. For example, honey is a very viscous fluid while water is not very viscous.


Viscosity is the measure of how well liquids?

Viscosity is the measure of a fluids resistance to flow. The higher the viscosity the more viscous (the more resistance it has to flow); honey is generally much more viscous than water.


How do you measure the viscosity of a liquid?

What is meant by a viscous liquid?

Viscosity is a measure of the thickness or how runny a liquid is. More viscous means thicker and syrup-like. Less viscous means more runny and more like water.

What is medical application of viscometer?

viscometer used in syrup and contact lens cleaning solution manufacturing companies, because the syrup should be sum of viscous.

What is the relation between the viscosity and chemistry?

Viscosity is the thickness of a substance; how easily it flows. Molasses> very viscous Water-> not so viscous

Does ketchup have viscous?

By viscous, I think you mean viscosity. Viscous is a adjective referring to the thickness of a substance; therefore, yes, ketchup is somewhat viscous.
