About Viscosity
Viscosity measures a fluid's resistance to flow - "thickness." Higher viscosity means thicker fluid. Dynamic viscosity (absolute) is measured in Pa·s or cP.
Common Viscosities (at 20°C)
- Water: 1 cP (1 mPa·s)
- Olive oil: ~84 cP
- Honey: 2,000-10,000 cP
- Motor oil: 100-250 cP
- Ketchup: ~50,000 cP
