Viscosity - Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids.
Viscosity is defined as the degree to which a fluid
resists flow under an applied force, measured by the
tangential friction force per unit area divided by the
velocity gradient under conditions of streamline flow;
coefficient of viscosity. The falling piston method of
measuring viscosity is superior because it accurately
reflects the ratio of the Shear Stress/Shear Rate of a
fluid. For a detailed discussion of Non-Newtonian fluid
viscosity and the Norcross Falling Piston method of

VISCOSITY CONVERSION TABLES
A PROUD TRADITION IN PROCESS VISCOSITY CONTROL
Norcross Corporation is making available free viscosity
conversion tables and free viscosity monitoring and
control application notes. Norcross’s comprehensive
viscosity conversion tables facilitate conversion among
Shell and Zahn Cup seconds, centipoises, SSU, SSF, and
other viscosity units.
