In what situations is kinematic viscosity used? !
Thread Content
Kinematic viscosity is the ratio of a fluid’s dynamic viscosity to its density ρ at the same temperature. The unit is (m^2)/s. Dynamic viscosity, measured in Pa*s, is generally used for calculations. Then in what situations is kinematic viscosity used? Thank you. . .
The rotational method is used to measure dynamic viscosity; it is recommended that you visit our company’s website for relevant information at http://www.ubotec.com/what-is-viscosity, where professional details on viscosity are provided by (Shanghai Ubotec Industrial Technology Co., Ltd.). Kinematic viscosity is usually monitored online, merely as an indicator of upward or downward trends. It doesn’t hold much significance; viscosity measurement instruments are designed based on the Newtonian fluid model, while other indirect measurement methods typically use kinematic viscosity. I hope this can help you.
That unit is an estimated unit. It is converted from the pressure difference of early capillary viscometers.
