App Description

Viscosity Conversion - Easily convert between various types of units for Dynamic Viscosity, Kinematic Viscosity, and Dynamic Viscosity for Oil and Water.

Viscosity is the state of being thick, sticky, and semi-fluid in consistency, primarily due to internal friction. It is quantified by a measure of the magnitude of internal friction, typically represented as the force per unit area resisting flow between parallel layers at a unit distance apart moving at unit speed relative to each other.

Viscosity of a fluid indicates its resistance to gradual deformation under shear stress or tensile stress. In everyday terms, it's akin to the concept of "thickness." For instance, honey exhibits significantly higher viscosity compared to water.

Fluid viscosity reflects its resistance to shear or flow and serves as an indicator of its adhesive, cohesive, or frictional properties. This resistance arises due to internal molecular friction within the fluid, resulting in a frictional drag effect. There are two key measures of fluid viscosity: dynamic and kinematic viscosity.

Viscosity Types:
1. Dynamic Viscosity - Characteristic of fluids and plastic solids, dynamic viscosity quantifies a substance's resistance to deformation and is informally known as "thickness."
2. Dynamic Viscosity for Oil and Water - Conversion factors for viscosity, encompassing various oils, water, glycerin, and different temperatures.
3. Kinematic Viscosity - Includes units such as Stokes, centistokes, lentor, square meter/second, square foot/second, poise cubic centimeter/gram, and more.
