What is Viscosity?
Viscosity may be defined as
Internal shear resistance between the layers of
fluid
Property of liquid which controls the rate of
flow.

Working with Viscometer
Procedure
1. Fill the Viscometer with particular liquid.
2. A small amount of cotton wool is placed in the
top of the capillary tube if the tube is left full for
any length of time.
3. Use three balls of different diameter with each
liquid (sizes are 1.59mm, 2.38mm, 3.175mm).
Put them into viscometer and measure the time
of fall of balls.
4. Using the hydrometer, obtain the specific
gravity of each liquid.
Working with Viscometer
Calculation
Viscosity of Liquid = = 2 r2 g (b - f)
9u
Where r = Radius of sphere
g = Acceleration due to gravity
b = Density of ball (for steel 7850 kg/m3)
f = Density of fluid
u = Mean velocity of fall
